Then the Anoscopy exam broke things open again. Now the pain was around an 8 this morning. This really sucks... is this normal after an exam? I feel like I'm starting over with recovery again, and it just really stinks as I had kind of found a formula to make things come out nice and soft. My sitz bath this morning barely touched the pain

At any rate, with this type of pain, I can't imagine the surgery would be that much worse then the last couple days (and at least I'd have proper pain killers). CRS knows I've been dealing with this for years, and said I would probably continue to recover until I have another 'slip-up'. Whenever I decide of sick of the tear-heal-tear-heal pattern, I can come in for the LIS. Says it takes about 10 minutes for him to perform.
