Val,
It is very, very upsetting to have a setback after a run of good days. I totally understand. But I remind myself (and my husband does too) that I was better before and I will get there again.
I bet this flare up will not last as long either.
Johnny,
Yes, walkin for me use to irritate the heck out of my fissure-all of the friction that created really hurt the fissure plus the sentinel pile. I think when we are walking and standing the pelvic floor muscles work harder and contract more so that could be causing more pain. Are you taking anything for pain control?
I hate when doctors say "you should be healed" like it is your fault that you're not or you somehow failed. But 4 weeks from what I have experienced and read and have heard from other CRSs doesn't sound right. I think it is a minimum of 6-8 weeks.
