I had LIS surgery for a fissure on Thursday morning. Fastest in and out of the hospital I've ever had (3 hours total). My doc had me taking pain meds immediately after I got home to stay ahead of the pain, which oddly never came. It feels unusual down there, but nothing I would really classify as pain (at least not yet, and I hope it stays that way). Some minor bleeding but nothing major. Finally had a bm this morning and no pain with the movement, a bit right after in the incision site, but really just discomfort and not so much pain (felt like the muscle wasn't tensing properly, which it wasn't because of course its been cut). No stabbing, sitting on a knife type feeling like I had prior to surgery. So far I have to say this is by far the best decision I could have made. Been suffering since June with the sitting on a knife feeling and now I finally have some hope that it will go away and stay away.
My only real concern now is how when I go back to work on Monday I can do the sitz baths after bm. Guess wipes will have to do until I get home for the day. Overall, I'm very happy so far.
