I had LIS 3 weeks ago and the procedure went well. I felt as though my fissure was healed within a week. Keeping up my regime, it was smooth sailing until about 5 days ago. I was trying to cut back on the nightly cap of Miralax (per surgeon's orders, just cutting the dosage down) and I had a definite hard movement and noticible retear. Due to the LIS, the spasms aren't accompanying the pain, but I feel like the fissure is back to its pre-LIS stage and the healing is taking longer.
Should I be worried that the LIS didn't work? I feel like it did not make a difference. My fissure would heal/ retear pre-LIS if I had a hard movement, the same thing that's happening now, so why did I even get surgery?
Can I use the nitro again? When will this thing be healed? When can I eat, exercise normally and stop taking mass amounts of laxatives?
Has anyone else felt like the LIS, while not too brutal of a procedure in itself, just did nothing to improve their situation? I am deeply depressed and I think my surgeon is full of shit. Speaking of shit, sick of fretting over mine. It is to the point where I almost have an eating disorder now.
please help.
