So - saw the consultant a few weeks ago and whilst I wasn't totally healed was still optimistic but after conversation he suggested that I should have another Botox session under general anesthetic. However after that appointment a few days later for reasons I just can't work out, I suddenly had an opening of my fissure and then spent a week of bleeding pain and cramping. A week on my bleeding has stopped but I still get irritating pain and cramping on a regular basis.
So I wrote to my consultant and said I wanted to be considered for LIS particularly if wheс I have the op it is clear the fissure is not healing. I have had this fissure now for 8 months now, and quite frankly it does affect every part of your life. I really really just need to move on.
Do you think it is right to push for LIS?
I have read that in some cases people wait for a year and a half before they are advised down this route?
Is it too soon?
I am really worried about incontinence - how bad is it?
Do you think now I have told my consultant what I want he would be able to switch from Botox to LIS?
My operation is on 13th December - next week
