Welcome dear Brett : )) ! As you will discover soon our members come from all over the world which is really cool !!!! Congratulation surviving LIS ; ) and taking first step toward healing your fissure.
First couple of days are definitely the most challenging one but every day it is going to be more and more easy and pain is going to subside by week 2 considerably.
Have those baths at least 2x a day, the more , the better. Stick with your "fissure diet" until your fissure heals - meaning make sure you have regular bowel movements and that they are nice medium soft consistency. Stay hydrated , and stay away from alcohol and too much coffee. Rest and take it easy first 2 weeks
: ) !
You will discover that everybody had different healing time frame,
so yours is going to be unique too : ). But in general, most people heal pretty fast and have no further problems. Some of us have minor pesky issues , some more annoying one, but don't be discouraged by that - those are more exceptions than the rule.
So, best of luck for your fast and complete recovery !!!! Once more, welcome "aboard" and please feel free to ask anything ! We all are here to help each other and give support : ))) !
