Harper, I had LIS done 3 years ago and a hemorrhoidectomy done 3 months ago. I did not have them together, but the latter procedure is known to have a much longer healing time and at 5 weeks, I'm not at all surprised that you're still experiencing pain. It does get better bit by bit though, and I was basically fully healed by about the 8 week mark.
Nopoop, I hope that you didn't have the hemorrhoidectomy without being prepared for it in advance, and there's a good chance that you didn't. Your husband may have been told that you had a papilla (which has a white head and is associated with a fissure), and it may have been explained to him as "like a hemorhhoid". Of course though, maybe you did undergo the procedure, in which case, I hope that your recovery isn't too painful.
