Hi everyone!
I have been reading your postings for about two months or so. I had a hemorrhoidectomy 3.5 months ago, then I had a Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS) and skin tag removal 1.5 months ago. Although I've had improvement, I am still suffering and I know that only you guys will understand. The hemorrhoids, anal fissure (AF), and area where the skin tag was removed do not seem to be bothering anymore; however, I am still experiencing a lot of discomfort on my left side, exactly where the LIS was performed, particularly after a BM and it lasts for many hours, sometimes the entire day. I am starting to get concerned about how well the LIS was performed. I read postings where people already feel wonderful after 6 weeks of the LIS, but I still feel some swelling and the area is painful to varying degrees, itchy and burning after every BM.
Has anyone had a LIS before? How long did it take for you guys to feel well?
Much love and support to everyone suffering. Thank you.
