Yesterday morning I had LIS on a 4 month old fissure and so far so good. I was home from hospital by noon and took an 800mg Ibuprophen (which I take almost daily for head/neck pain anyway). Vicadin will put my bowels into severe lockdown so unless I was out of my mind with pain I was avoiding it and luckilly for me I was able to.
So this morning woke up fealing pretty good but was scared to death to poop. I always feel good till that morning bm and honestly could probably have held it in for a week even with Miralax and colace. I filled up the bathtub tub first so it was ready when I was done going, then it was time to try... and it really wasn't that bad :) . I have mild discomfort right now and am a little groggy (probably from the sedative) but that's it! Nothing like the pain from my fissure.
I think I'm probably doing well because I didn't wait too long, thanks to all of you. Searching for answers and finding this site was just amazing. I'm off work for a week so I will be sure to update. I know that reading others has helped me so much.
