ryanman0, as usual soo to the detail that it makes your post read like a diary, you should write medical journal about your life with fissures and the outcome of surgery.
You need to keep this thread updated "always" no matter if you are so healed that you will forget ever having problems with what? fissures? what's that, he, he.
I am happy to read that you are doing well after 4 months and getting better, like you said this is something that will never be forgotten and I think once you have it, life will never be the same no matter how well we are doing after healing.
I have an appointment tomorrow, gave myself two months to see how well I am doing, while I am now in control of my fissure and no otherwise, is still there and no going anywhere, every bowel movement is a ritual in wish everything have to be done perfect to avoid the all day long irritation, pain is now almost gone but the irritation and tenderness is always present.
I will talk about surgery with my doctor tomorrow and see what will come next.
I am worry about having to put a hold to my workout routine as I am an avid zumba dancer and weight (for toning only lifter) I have a very nice on going routine that I would hate having to stop while healing, you know how hard it is to go back into after a long pause, is never easy.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us and keep taking care of yourself.
