FissureHome, the fissure did not give any pain after the surgery, and to this day. NONE. Now, I did lay in bed for one whole day, sleeping a watching movies and eating soup. My tailbone felt bruised, like I got kicked pretty hard in the butt, but it was a dull ache, not a sharp fissure-pain. On day two, I shuffled around the back yard, doing this and that, but spent most of the day in bed. By day three, I was walking all around the house, but still spent probably three or four hours in bed, just to play it safe. I had not taken any painkillers beyond the first day of recovery -- didn't need them. My butt just felt bruised, like when you sit down too long and your tailbone aches. By day four, I was able to go to church and sit on a pew and attend all of my meetings. By day five, I was back to work as a school teacher, and happy as a lark. Still happy to this day!
Semper Fi,
