spasm after lis

Postby paine » 21 Apr 2017, 21:23

hi. i hope that lis vet could give me an insight on my situation and hopefully receive information.
i had lis 3 months ago. at this point, during bm no pain. but after bm burning and spasm begins on the opposite area where the lis cut was made. so basically, on the left side where lis cut was made the anus is relaxed but in the other side - fissure side the anus is rock hard. its painful. i dont know what to do. i massage it a little but it breaks the skin i think bec it stings. its really wearing me down and im so tired of this. :(

Perhaps get an anal manometry test to see what's going on? It will be unpleasant but may give a better picture of what's happening inside.
8/16-12/16: Fissure due to antibiotics
5/17: Botox to sphincter, fissure healed
9/19: Trigger point injections and pudendal nerve block
11/19: Botox to pelvic floor
8/20: Botox to pelvic floor in new location.
On and off in pelvic physical therapy

I agree I would get the resting pressure test. Has your fissure healed

Sometimes the surgeons do not cut the full length of the IS and a second LIS is needed if the fissure hasn't healed

hi there PandH, MPB. well i did have anal manometry test before but the crs did not provide me the result even after calling the clinic. however since i do not trust this surgeon who did my lis and anal manometry test i did not bother to call again. i have resolved myself to get a consultation from another crs. right now since the pain and discomfort is still tolerable i am taking time off from another poking of crs. when the time comes that this is too much then i will go to the surgeon of happykermit. its not that difficult to get an appointment here in my country. i am now 7 mos post op and still not fully healed.

Oh no Paine that’s not good, you will probably be best to get it checked out by a different CRS and see what’s going as you shouldn’t still be in pain after every BM
Good luck and let us know what they say
