This week has been good! On the way up =)
BM is becoming more and more "sensation"-less - which is good. Post-BM discomfort/tightness is just about completely gone.
I'm now almost certain the "ridge" the CRS felt last week during my 6-week checkup (which he declared as the fissure itself) is just extra tissue related to my hem, and the pain I was still feeling in the past few weeks is some sort of inflammation/swelling.
I still do my butt cheek test (by spreading the butt cheeks with my hands and see what I feel) - and I feel almost nothing no matter how hard I pull.
Also still do my finger test (when applying cream into the canal, I apply pressure to the anal canal walls to see where it hurts) - also feel basically nothing now.
I have no conclusive proof but really felt like topical antibiotics (Neosporin) have helped with the last few weeks of healing.
