Hi, this is my first post here!
I suffered from a chronic fissure (well, two!) for 5 months following the rough forceps delivery of my son. As with all fissures, I was in excruciating pain and ended up in emergency hysterical after a very painful BM. My specialist appointment wasn't for another week - I was a mess. The fissures were taking over my life and I found it hard to deal with, being a a first time parent and looking after a young baby. Anyway, 4 weeks ago I had a LIS and had an amazing recovery. I had bad pain for 2 days and then slight discomfort for around a week. I now have no pain at all. Today when having a BM I noticed quite a bit of blood in the loo(both times)! I was horrified and got sad straight away! I am still on softeners and am very slowly minimizing the amount, but I think I minimized it too quickly. My BM was not too hard, it was easy to pass, but I did feel as though I could feel something when I did. No pain, just slight discomfort. Has anyone else had this happen? What was it and how did you overcome it?
Tia!
