I have no idea whether the fissurectomy allows for bigger BMs. My BMs haven't yet normalised after the surgery. Too much information but they were unshaped bits yesterday as was the BM this morning. My CRS said that I can't EVER get constipated as the fissure will come back then.
I did have spasms the first month or so after the fissure recurred. I went for a short car ride today for the first time since the surgery and it was ok. I sit on a pillow on the sofa at the moment and it's ok. It's slightly uncomfortable but not painful. I get kind of mini-spasms or something like that when I get up after sitting down. It's nowhere near as bad as fissure pain when it's bad. I've only taken one 500mg paracetamol today. I don't think it helps but I take one anyway. I make a point of not taking anything stronger as you expect some discomfort after surgery and if I can deal with it without painkillers that's good. Discomfort and pain is very individual so someone else might find it very painful or not painful at all.
