Does anyone else clench up there sphincter to see if it still hurts after LIS..?
It's a habit I've got into, I get a pinching feeling toward the left side of my anus when I tense up down there, I can only describe it as feeling like a ridge of rough skin on the inside maybe scarring where the stitches used to be, I can also feel a scar lower down in my anus presumably where LIS was done, I'm also thinking there could be scar tissue annoying both sites and possibly some internal skin tags, it's something I'm going to have to ask my CRS about.

Hey Steve,
I do clench to see if it hurts too. I noticed a pinching feeling towards my left side( I believe) yesterday. I spent the whole day walking quite a bit yesterday and got some annoying irritation and pinchy feeling. After a good nights sleep, I feel fine. The bm this morning was smooth sailing. I just wonder what causes it though and if I wasn't taking the miralax if I wouldn't be doing so great. I'm thankful I am but can't wait to feel like this never happened.

yep, I do the same, it's a habit i guess.
