Well I am back from the CRS. He checked me out, really checked out my bum, finger, stretched me apart, pushed, pinched etc.
good news is I have no abcess, fistula etc. he said my fissure is about 90% healed but still has a little way to go. He did not recommend a second LIS at this point.
He gave me .3% nifedipine cream to try for a couple of months to get that 10% healed. If not then , I can live with it or get a full work up (colonscopy and barrium enema) prior to having another LIS done.
He did an anal manometer test (pressure test) and said that my resting pressure is a little above normal but not as bad as it was prior to my 1st LIS.
Hopefully the cream will help the healing. has anyone else used nifedipine cream? did it work, how did you apply it etc.
other than that things are good. I have lost a healthy 10 pounds (I am a lean machine now) and I have been biking to work everyday....18 miles total (9 each way)
I am keeping my fingers & sphincters crossed. hopefully this will be it for me.
thanks everyone!
