I just posted in the general discussion, not knowing this topic was here. Sorry.
I have had a chronic extremely painful AF for almost 10 months and FINALLY I have LIS surgery booked in 3 weeks.
However, 3 weeks ago I discovered a laxative that actually works for me and my stools have been amazing and pain free. I *think* things may be healing up in there. I don't want to go off the laxative. I missed my dose last night and this AM, my BM was back to its usual firm/hard gross self. Fortunately it didn't hurt that much. So my question is,
Do I cancel the surgery and keep taking the laxative? Or should I go ahead with surgery anyways? I am wondering if it will still be beneficial, considering things are healing up down there? Im torn at what to do. I can't find any info on this surgery other than the fact that its intention is to stop the spasms so the fissure can heal. Does it benefit you in the future?
Thanks for reading :)
