Thank you for the advice, mypoorbutt. I will try to not look at the horror stories. I know those are the ones that get posted the most because people are more likely to complain online than talk about something that went great and they are now cured. The success story people just move on with their lives and I don't blame them for not hanging around. And, yeah, you don't know the full medical history of the people that post bad stories. So, I will try to think of that. There are so many more people out there that say the surgery was the best decision they ever made, so I will just hope and pray that it will be for me, too.
Is a fissurotomy the same as a fissurectomy or is it different? Just a question since I'm curious. I hope you get in for your LIS soon. I know it sucks waiting, which I've been doing for months and months without any improvement since this got worse last year. It's awful.
So much throbbing and pain today. : ( I guess my BM didn't sit well with me again; yesterday was so much better. I also get pain that radiates down my hips, thighs, and legs, as well as up my back and in my vaginal area. It sucks so much. My CRS said that pain is referred pain and is from the fissure messing with other nerves in the body. I'm guessing it's related to spasms, too. Do others on the forum get that, I wonder?
Please, God, let this surgery work! Getting on the road to recovery is all I want right now in the world.
