Hi fissurehome,
Just noticing your post now. I'm sorry your suffering too, we really do take things for granted but never again. I don't want pain like that again I don't think I'd cope again.
I would definitely try Botox first I got 8mths from my first round. I'm on movicol & I forgot to take it one night causing a re tear I was devastated I thought my troubles were over. It was a bad tear so had more Botox seen as it worked so well first time but unfortunately not so good 2nd time. My crs said we could do a 3rd round but probably be waisting time so went straight for lis. It was tough for a few days I won't lie but at least it was a healing pain.
I had Botox under general so didn't feel anything it was sore for few days alright more like bruising. I don't have any trouble holding in gas at all. I have never tried to hold in a bowel movement I go the min I wake up so no need too. Sometimes I feel it will come even if I try to hold it in. It's still early days so I'm still very kind to my bum lol :).
I wish you the best in your decision & hope your pain free soon :)
