A couple months ago I posted about severe fissure pain and was fortunate enough to be able to see a CRS fairly quickly who diagnosed the problem as 2 fissures. About a month after trying the nifedipine ointment I started to feel better, but still suffered mild pain and bleeding with BM's. I also noticed a strange lesion developing. I'm a homosexual male so I kind of freaked out. 2 doctors said it was a large wart. Just my luck. I researched the least invasive way to get this removed and research pointed to radiofrequency ablation. Unfortunately I'm CA where I live it was going to take months to see anyone, so I booked an appointment with a specialist in MN.
Yesterday I went to see to get what I thought was a large wart romoved. He looked and instantly told me it was a skin tag from the chronic fissure and said the only way for that fissure to heal was with LIS. He performed both LIS and the tag removal under local. I was terrified as I had to be on a plane all day immediately following the surgery. He assured me u would be fine.
After the surgery I felt pain once the local wore off, but nothing compared to my initial fissure pain. Today I woke up and feel much better. I'm still terrified for my first BM, but so far so good. I'll continue to update.

Congrats on your surgery! Take it easy and rest as much as you can. Warm baths , diet and stool softener. My first BM wasn't bad at all after my surgery. Hopefully it will be the same for you! Try and relax, drink plenty...
Keep us posted!
