So I'm about 10 weeks after my LIS, and I still have pain just after my daily BM in the morning. It's like a burning sensation, but without the throbbing. And usually the sensation comes like a wave: immediately after the bm I feel the burning building up for 2-3 minutes, and it lessen quickly after, but leaves me with some incomfort for 3-4 hours. The heating pad helps and by lunch time usually the pain is almost disappeared. Is it normal? This pain is posterior, like at 6 o'clock, not on my left side (incision). Since my surgery I haven't had a day pain-free, however, I never had any spasm again, so I'm glad about it but I find the healing very slow. I feel the improvement since the surgery, but now since several weeks I reached a plateau.
Also, I absolutely need to take my lax a day 1 dose every 2 or 3 day, otherwise I find to push to hard, and it hurts more after.
Few days ago, I noticed that my skin tag was more swollen than before my LIS. Again, is it normal? And I now have kind of a small bump under my skin, on top of the anus. I wonder what it is, could it be inflammation related to the surgery? I don't think it's an hemorroid, it's not colored and it's not looking like a vein. My crs told me at 6 weeks that everything seemed to heal just fine, and in one year the tag should disappeared by itself.
