hi michelle,
sorry you are having a challenging time now.
as juney stated, healing from an LIS generally takes 6-8 weeks just to make sure that the tissue is healing - not really indicative if you are pain free or 100% back to normal. that is expected about a year out.
i know you just recently had a set back with a BM and i hope that in a week or so, that you will recover from that.
i am not sure if you have modified your diet after the LIS - 2nd surgery - or if you are on what we call here 'AF diet' - but it is rather important to keep watch on what you eat after your surgery at least for the year following.
as a high anxiety person, i know that i would be nuts trying to figure out what is going on and sometimes it just makes me want to do something that really isn't in my best interest. so with that said, it sounds like you have some anxiety over your recent situation.
i am glad you are seeking out answers and alternatives. keep all of those in mind.
but also, give your body some time to allow the LIS you just had in August adjust for you.
you may want to see how you are doing in January just to give you some time to heal from the LIS and the recent retear.
good luck.
