Hi everyone, I’m Debbie from Cape Town South Africa. I have been struggling with a chronic fissure for a year now and had a Fissurectomy on Tuesday this week. The pain after a BM is excruciating and I am battling to cope. When can I expect this pain to subside? I don’t know how much more pain I can take

That sounds extremely painful, I'm sorry. Perhaps warm baths after a BM or whenever you're in pain could be helpful. Ask your doctor for appropriate pain medication as well. Make sure your water intake is high, plus add a stool softener like Miralax so that you don't need to strain when you go.
