Hi Splinter,
Sorry you are still suffering. I can't deal with the fear of re-tears and the pain daily, so I'm going for the LIS. Yes, I'm scared but I want my life back! I've gone on nearly 2 years now. When I had the test, they inserted a small probe(I had in my head the probe would be massive, so worked myself up into a right state beforehand) then you clench when the nurse instructs you to. They also did an ultra sound to look at the thickness of my sphincter muscle. Maybe you could get the test to see if that's your issue too. That's why after the Diet changes, Botox etc etc... I just can't stay healed.
