that's great to hear lars! it is actually a little reassuring to me too, since i still haven't healed. my dr seemed to think it woud just take time, so maybe he's right. i'm happy for you! :D how's your pain now? what are you doing to manage your fissure everyday? baths, eating, meds, etc?? i'm just curious how you're taking care of it.

Happy for your good news, Lars. Pretty soon you should be completely healed!

great news Lars.You must be so releived.

Thanks guys :)
Yes I am very relived. At last I am on my way to healing :)
Juney: I take Duplac to make the bm soft and try to just have one bm a day. I eat whatever I want to and do not follow a fissure diet. That has never made a difference for me. I do not drink alcohold because it makes me have multiple bms the other day.
I take no meds and have never taken it either. Taking some baths but not every day. Only when it hurts after a bm..
Pain has decressed over the weeks after surgery but I am nowhere pain free. I can still feel the fissure since it is still very big. But it is only burning and soreness that is bothering me. The ache that I had down there is gone..
I am sure you have healed some too Juney inside. It just takes sooo long when we are dealing with ulcers insted of fissures...

Lars,
Your attitude seems to have greatly improved! Is Duplac a stool softener? I have never b/4 heard of that.

lars - it seems like you're dealing well with this. you don't sound as obsessive over it as so many of us are. haha. i am completely obsessed with everything i put in my mouth. i also follow a specific routine (BMs, baths, wipes, ointment, etc) everyday. if i don't do everything exactly the same i feel like it'll be the end of me. sighhh.
i feel like i've developed some type of Obsessive-Compulsive disorder because of this. LOL. i'm glad you're not the same!

I also use the shower after every bm. No toilett paper for me :)
Duphalac is a stool softener yes. You also have to drink alot of water when using it.

how are you doing now lars??

Hi all
I am still living in discomfort every day... But it is better than before LIS. The ache is completley gone. I only have itch, burning and soreness. I guess this is normal until the fissure complety heales..
My fissure is so big and wide that I don`t expect to be symptomsfree for another month or so. My CRS where so satisfied with the result after just 6 weeks so I try to not think so much about that I am still in discomfort. If I just had a normal fissure(1-5 millimeter) it would have healed weeks ago. I have a gigantic ulcer so I think this is normal. Thanks for asking Juney :) May we all heal soon.

Great to hear from you Lars - I was wondering how you were coping
You are healing just fine and yes, it takes a long time for all of that to heal and reagin it's original strength and resilience. Just continue with good work and all should be fine ! I hope you can go out now and have some fun
