Thanks for the encouragement Angel, it sure is a pain to be facing it again!
I had my surgery in December and I would say by about Feb I was thinking it was beginning to come back again, I think in my case the original fissure has opened again. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I think back and I do believe things are still too tight down there, I am glad I had the first surgery and we attempted to fix things with minimal impact to the working order down there. I am very interested to see how different things are after my second procedure, I can notice the part that was cut is looser but my CRS said he did not even cut a third of the muscle so there is still plenty of nice muscle there to hack away at, and I feel in my case not enough was cut for the fissure to heal and for going forward, my bathroom experience to be a breeze
Count down is on to surgery and there is no going back now so I am just hoping for the best outcome
Thinking back to all the time I wasted and remedies I tried with my first fissure really helped me go straight to surgery this time, I dont want to be playing the game of up and downs and trying this diet and that cream and sitting this way when I can stress for a week, then go to sleep and take what I feel is going to be the most effective action in my case and hopefully finally get rid of the fissure for one, and be having nice BM's so I never worry about the return of a fissure again
I will definitely keep you posted on the second recovery and my thoughts as to how my decision plays out
