After years of comtemplating with my superficial fissure, went through with the surgery yesterday. It is still very surreal to me. I was so nervous the night before that I only got 3 hours or so sleep. The entire ordeal went by so fast. Next thing I remember I was waking up in the recovery area and discharged to go.
Not much pain as I've been taking the meds my CRS prescribed. Actually he gave me Vicodin and this other NSAID drug. Only been taking the latter to help reduce swelling and this is only for 3 days. Haven't had to take Vicodin yet so I hope I won't need to.
I'm still very nervous about my first BM. I am having gas since yesterday. Not sure if it's from the procedure or the NSAID. I've taken Advil in the past and no issues, and I think this NSAID given to me is similar class of drug. I did take Miralax and will continue to do so. It's hard to tell if it's gas or BM. I've been passing gas since yesterday but luckily no cramps. I'm trying to relax waiting for my first BM....easier said then done.
I'm walking very gingerly and being careful. Just the thought of a cut down there is daunting for me. I'm hoping it will be smooth sailing from here.
