Just had my 5 week appointment today. I had been dreading it because I KNEW my fissure was still there, since I was still having pain when I sat for long periods (especially driving). Lo and behold, the fissure is gone. She said my butt looks as good as a teenager's :) and she can't see any source of my discomfort. She thinks that the fissure, while irritating, may not have even been the main problem since my discomfort when sitting was my biggest problem (I had some burning after BM but I hadn't even been concerned about that. That is gone now though).
I have struggled with "unexplained pain" before - this one called vulvodynia because it was in the vaginal area - which I finally got under control through physical therapy. So it's not a huge surprise I guess that I could have a similar symptom on my rear end. It's just extremely annoying. I was wondering if anyone else had anything like this, and what they tried.
I am frustrated that the surgery didn't fix the problem...but I am glad at least that the wound healed, as it had been there since I first saw the CRS in October (surely longer).
