I feel better than i did before surgery. stool is soft but i'm still getting pin pricks and soreness from the fissure during a bm. there is no pain or spasms afterwards. it's only during a bm that pain occurs.

I wanted to know:
if anyone else still had pain at this point after LIS, but eventually managed to completely heal.
also when does one know if LIS has completely failed?
if LIS fails, what is the next option? would a 2nd LIS help?
