I thought I would update as anyone reading this for information would feel this is an unfinished tale. Since my last post I have seen my CRS several times for examinations and also another specialist to monitor muscle pressure of the sphincter. They do this with a probe and isn't very funny. The result of this was too much pressure and LIS was agreed upon. Well cutting a long story short yesterday I went for LIS but was surprised to find myself coming round from my 'op' only 15-20 mins later.
Good news: My CRS told me he'd performed a sigmoidoscopy (a full on examination) and the fissure was no longer evident so the LIS op was not required. Hopefully I can continue the regime I have and will not have a re-tear, if so its sorted
. I have thought I've been at this point before but having done so I intend to remain very careful and very slowly head to a normal existence.
