Hi all. I had my LIS done this morning with the surgeon telling me after that it was a chronic fissure that would never have healed any other way. Apparently, he 'roughed up' the edges and did a LIS. He has made a note on my report to say it could be a couple of months to fully heal due to severity of it.
I had burst into tears as soon as the lady took me to my room so felt completely stupid but they were all really great. I was so scared! At the moment all I have had is 2 paracetamol's 3 hours ago and although it is sore it is not as bad as I was expecting. I have not yet even thought about a BM and the thought of that makes me feel shaky actually. I can't sit down comfortably, I am lying on the sofa. Due to take some more pain relief in a minute and also if it gets bad I have been told to take Codeine with caution.
I am very grateful to everyone who has commented or has put their own story on here as it made me go to see the Surgeon after all these years. I know that it will be worse over the next few days and I am expecting that but slightly relieved that I am not bouncing off the wall with pain right now.
