Hi all, figured I'd check in and let you know how I was doing. I'm 6 week's post-LIS and doing pretty well. I think I'm a hyperchondriac and every little sensation down there is another tear . However, BM's have been pretty pain free and the prior fissure pain, sting and tension post-bm's has subsided. I do get an occassional burn here and there, generally while standing and it doesn't last long, a couple seconds (anyone else this long after LIS?). I'm keeping up on my fiber and miralax regimen as it's been working for me. I did have some fresh blood 4 weeks post-op as I think I was pushing it a bit on the honeymoon with all the different foods (nothing sharp), walking on the treadmill and some push-ups/stetching. It was odd as it was at night and not post-BM. However, none since then. For anyone who has had LIS, how long did you have weird sensations down there and how long was the area sensitive to the touch? Drying after a shower is a sensitive ordeal, lol. I also have some mild leakage, mostly after passing gas...not much but enough where I'm like..."darn a spot". I'm kind of sick of wearing a "pad" with a cotton ball wedged up there. Heck, that could lead to some of my odd sensations. Anyhow, almost 7 weeks out and looking up. I just want my life back as all of you do. This thing has really been a physical and mental roller-coaster for me. Anxiety being the latest phase. Any help on the concerns would be great. I have another CRS appt. on Dec. 9th and I'm hoping he tells me I've healed....fingers/toes/arms/legs crossed!
Hope everyone is doing well today!
Thanks!
Tim
