Okay then. It's just that you said, "my sphincter at 12 divides in two" so that made me wonder if I missed something. I would think if you had LIS then you would probably be having less pain than you are.
I know what you mean, my CRS took a large amount of tissue out too. He told me it was going to feel like a bad burn. UNDERSTATEMENT! Applying the antibiotic ointment was hell but I was instructed to keep it moist with it. As for the GTN, I know my doctor said to use it. It depends on how comfortable you are with touching the area.
Sounds like you are doing all the right things, so good on you. How many sitz baths are you doing each day? It's good you found something to help with the pain. I spent a lot of time in the tub myself.
