I had surgery for a fissure back about 2003. It worked well. No incontinence and relief of pain was perfect. Now 12 years later I am having painful bowel movements again despite a pretty good diet. My question here is can these damn things come back this long after surgery that was successful? I have had to docs exam me and both could find nothing wrong but I'm not convinced of that each morning I sit on the throne. Sometimes it hurts a little sometimes a lot. Today it has that feeling I remember when I had a fissure that raw little tear feeling. Are there folks here who have had these wretched things occur again even after surgery ?
Pokey.
