Hi Hun
I'm doing ok most days are really good pain after a BM is minimal if there at all. Only issue is when I go more than once a day or have a watery BM then the pain comes back bad burning and aching and occasionally spasms.
But compared to how I was it so much better. I'm hoping things will continue to improve but it's been like this now since about week 10/12 so I'm guessing it's probably always going to be this way.
If I didn't have crohns or IBS then I know I would be fine with no pain at all.
At least I can go to the gym and stand still at work without the stinging kicking in that only happens now after BMs do that is a good thing. Sex too is no longer an ordeal and doesn't set off my spasms.
Think it's the acidity of my watery BMs that start the spasms again but as I'm already on lots of meds my choice is to accept a few bad days every week or so, or fight for a colostomy which I don't think I'm ready for at this stage.
I'm glad I had the LIS my life has improved so much I'm just a bit annoyed it hadn't helped when I'm having a flare but nothing's perfect lol
It's great your doing so well and I'm assuming it will feel a bit tight down there for a while as it has to heal inside too which can take longer than we think. Hope they sort the Botox out for you soon Hun x
