Hello all! I was schedueld for an LIS at the beginnning of the month but cancelled because the i felt so much better the week before surgery, and when the dr. checked me he said I had the smallest fissure he had seen. Unfortunately, after Easter (i ate really well but was away from home so was off my strict diet) i had a relapse and the fissure re-opened (bleeding and pain).
I went to the dr. today and we decided it is probably worth it for me to get surgery. The problem just keeps coming back with diltiazem treatment and the Resident, surgeon and myself all agreed i should get the surgery to (hopefully) take care of the problem for good. It could get cancelled again but is unlikely. It is scheduled for the end of the month so I don't need to wait long, which is the good thing. There was a cancellation I was able to take.
I will keep you posted- i'm feeling physically ok right now but am just tired of the back and forth, playing the "self heal" game over the last year plus that doesn't seem to be working. I am so exhausted by it and my AF really rules my life. Also, because I want to get pregnant, the dr. thinks this is good to take care of now.
Thanks for your encouragement and support through this, hopefully in a month I will be feeling better and can put all of this behind me!! This site is the best and all your help is very appreicated!!
