Return to LIS - Considering surgery or already had it?

Not the toilet seat grasping, red-faced, Sweat inducing push that caused the hems and AF in the first place, but a gentle barring down, applying constant pressure to muscles that just don't seem to be engaging on their own. Out came a perfectly formed foot-long BM
For me, The post-surgical pain associated with pooing is different than the fissure pain. My anus is bruised and stitched in 2 places so there's some very minor stinging during and then an intense dull ache after. Not the searing "I think I just pooed glass" pain from the past. But still needing desperately to get my bum in the HOT sitz bath. Pain meds help a lot! Also very helpful was my mom calling 30 mins later offering to get me something from McD's!! One hot fudge sundae, please! It's a win-win cuz I got to indulge AND I am Lactose intolerant so it'll keep things moving too!! Haha- I'm a masochist!!

I would increase the miralax. Taking just one dose is the regular amount and may not be enough. It shouldn't hurt you and you can adjust it back down once you get things moving. Try not to panic. I know it's hard to do. If you can take a warm bath maybe that would help. It sure would relax all your muscles. I've been following your posts because I'm going to need the advancement flap surgery and I'm trying to see how the pain is. I've read so many negative posts about surgery I'm grateful your posts are more positive. I know you didn't have the flap but sound like you had a lot done. Hope you recover soon and can start enjoying life without worrying about your bum. Suzy
