I'm 5 weeks post-op today and have been having irritation again. I had my stitches taken out last Wednesday and am so thankful as they were really bothering me! My CRS said to use some hydrocortisone for the irritation I was having. I used that 4 times and feel worse! The area where the stitches were doesn't hurt anymore at all thank goodness but the fissure site is irritated again when sitting. Maybe it dried me out too much? She told me to stop the hydrocortisone and use Calmospetine instead.
I also started using Miralax with my Colace stool softener. Has anyone ever had Miralax cause them any irritation? My stools are formed not runny. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and only 1/4 tsp. at night.
Any advice to stop the irritation?
I was hoping LIS was the answer. Maybe I just need more time to heal. I just want my life back!
