Hi- Unfortunately, I am a new member to this group. Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled when I found out that other people are dealing with the same issues I have and that I'm not alone, but I never thought I would seek support for butt pain!! The pain from my fissure is taking over my life and it is hard for others to understand the pain. I'm a busy mom and wife, and it's hard to keep up with life when there is so much pain.
I am scheduled for a fissurectomy and botox injections on August 3rd. My doctor was totally against the LIS surgery, which I was hoping he would be infavor of. He said that there is a high risk of incontinence and he only resorts to that surgery when all else fails. I am wondering if anyone else has had just a fissurectomy with botox and how bad was recovery? Also, was it successful long term? Thanks, I would love to hear from you!
