So I have had the LIS one week ago and it’s been mixed.
Early on I didn’t feel too bad, had some decent bowl movements without much pain and thought this would be similar to my hemroidectomy.
That was a mistake.
Wednesday I had a lot of pain as I think I overdid it and maybe torn some stitched. Took it very easy the next day and today had a painful bowel movement that is now calming down after 2 Sitz baths.
The perineal ice packs are a godsend I have used them quite a bit and for the pain I have been rotating tylonel and ibuprofen with hydrocodone at night.
I have my checkup on Monday, but I will say don’t do much of anything. Even today walking and moving was a bit painful.
Also I am wondering about using Epsom salts on my Sitz bath but I don’t want to have any burning.
Hopefully we can get more consistent and less pain next week.
