Hi Cinderella,
I remember going to see the doctor thinking I had AF still because I was still having the same kind of pain. He checked and said that I had healed but I was still having pain from the skin tag. It has quieted down since then but I wonder if the doctor could not find a fissure if you do really have one. Maybe the pain could be from the hemorrhoids?
Without them visualizing an AF it seems unlikely that they would want to do an LIS. I am glad though you are having more good days than bad. That is very good news and encouraging as you want to consider another pregnancy soon. I would think in a year's time you will be doing better.
Do they recommend any non-surgical ways to deal with the hemmies like rubber band ligation?
