I had a LIS in 2004 which was successful and I was fissure and pain free for 12 years. Then this spring I got another small fissure and went through typical treatment of using nifedipine oinment, increased my fiber and took Miralax. It went away. CRS said it was healed. So I went about my daily life without fiber supplementation or Miralax eating my normal diet which includes lots of veggies and fruit. WELL, the damned fissure keeps trying to come back. One day everything is fine and then I have a difficult BM and the pain starts slipping in the door again. My doc has pretty much recommended I take a fiber supplement and Miralax daily.
My question is are there others here who experienced something similar. I don't understand why after being pain free for 12 years this problem would come back. I don't know what I can do other than to take the fiber supplement and the Miralax or have another surgery. It's very frustrating.
Pokey
