Thank you for the kind words, Stacie. : ) I just want this all to be over and my butt to not be so tight anymore. I've always been such a tightass!
My CRS said he will have to do a fissurectomy since the fissure has been there for so long. He has to smooth out the tissue and cut the scar tissue or else it won't heal properly. This along with the LIS should allow the area to finally be able to heal properly. I heard recovery is more painful and longer with fissurectomies. : (
He has never gotten a good look at it, though, because I'm just too tight, so this is going to be an "exam under anesthesia" with possible LIS/fissurectomy depending on what he finds. My date is set for the 26th. I know I'll be more and more freaked as that date approaches, so I hope I can get some anti-anxiety meds for that. I could have made an appointment for the 12th, but chickened out. : (
January 2013 - Diagnosed with fissure. Eventually turned chronic.
History of IBS and anxiety disorder, along with fear of using bathrooms other than my own caused it.
Tried Diltiazem, but eventually developed a rash.
LIS surgery scheduled August 26th.
