it's been a week now. still sore, but it's decreased since last monday for sure. when i wake up in the morning i can't even feel it, but after i go it becomes a bit swollen and that same old pain for the rest of the day. not a spasm pain, which i now know is b/c the fissure is pretty much healed. i can still see the little crack or "hole" that the dr saw and that i've always seen. plus, it looks like i have another skin tag forming, a mound of flesh that swells after BM and then goes down as the day goes on.
i'm not sure if the nitrate is making a difference, but she did say it would probably take a few applications. not as much discharge now, just a little here and there. i'm taking ibuprofen every day and basically feel like i'm at the same point i was at after my 1st surgery last year. still keeping up w/ the MOM and just hoping things go back to the way they were last month when i'd almost forgotten about this damn thing.
