Hi everyone,
My CRS is willing to give me LIS next week. I'm tight, it's difficult to sit and walk. I take sitz bath for comfort, but the pain, most of the time, is throbbing. BM is hell.
The other day, I took a mirror, got a light and looked at the AF, and damn, I see a round, pimple-like thing, though it's flat. It's small, yet so annoying! I can't believe something as small as this is making me uncomfortable.
So, I'm having second-thoughts. School isn't over til the first week of June. If I undergo surgery next week, does it mean I won't be able to walk for a long time?
I know recovery is a case-to-case basis, but can you give me an idea on how "debilitating" Post-op LIS can be? Are you totally helpless? Do you squirt blood all over the place when you move?
I'm so afraid and fearful that I'm trading this small, skin-deep fissure for another wound caused by a knife. I am aware that most of the people here don't regret the LIS and that they feel much better afterwards, but I'm racing against time, and a scholarship is at stake. It'll cost me much if I lose it.
Thanks to those who'll answer.
