So my news is basically very good- the CRS said Wednesday that my fissure looks healed and any remaining issues I am feeling are "surgery related". He indicated that the areas that have healed will be more sensitive for a while. The spot where the skin tag was attached and removed is still giving me issues- some days pretty good really but others, like today, fairly annoying. He still wants me to use the Nifedipine ointment for another week and a half. I am anxious to be rid of it. I have been using it for 11 out of the last 12 months. It seems like when I get up in the morning, things feel pretty good, I have a BM, it is ok, I shower or soak, it is ok, I put on the ointment, it starts to feel aggravated. Or is it a time thing and some little bit of stool or discharge is making it's way out by then. I'm not sure. I have been trying to put A and D ointment or Calmoseptine on to protect the area. I am beginning to wonder if the Nifedipine is just irritating to the sensitive spot there or if it is just getting rubbed by my walking and starting to exercise more. I'm not like most of you- I've gained 10 pounds since January so I have to get back in the swing of things- very frustrated when I am eating better than I ever have in my entire life!
