Hello Fissurehome, I just came back from my CRS appointment. Every thing went well, he explained every thing, told me incontinence is such a small risk that is not worthed to be considered. In 15 years of practice he have never had one. And only have had to repeat a LIS once. But then he made me nervous when he told me that one thing to take in consideration is infection. 2 out of 100 people can get an infection(even if they take antibiotics and clean well), after LIS and then things can get complicated -abscess +fistula-
. It is a small risk but is there and sometimes out of bad Luck you can be one of them. So he let me re-think my desition for a while. I thought again and realized I have to do it any way. So finally tomorrow I will have my LIS at 10 a.m and probably will be ready to go home at 11 a.m. I am very scared at the moment. Ned to go out to do something before I get crazy here in my hotel-room.
I don't have any pain at the moment. The fissure closed again but just because the Miralax and the nitro. I am not having the nitro any more. But I am taking the Miralax every day.
Fissurehome you need to be very patient . Fissures take long time to fully heal. Especially the tailbone pain( I took me 5 months to get rid from that pain completely). You need to give it long time to know if you want to have the surgery or not, especially because you don't have so much pain and you are improving every day. I am doing this because of my re-tear and also because the fissure was taking over my life. Thank you for your good wishes. Take care. Talk to you tomorrow after my LIS.
