Hello All,
I am typing this email while standing up, as I am sure most of you can understand. I have had a fissure for a few years now, but(no pun intended) they always healed till last year and than OMG!!! I was coming home on a 12 hour flight, had to go to the bathroom and I wanted to jump off the plane. I was stuck in a metal tub for 10 house in the greatest pain of my life. While I went to marine boot camp over 25 years ago and have a pretty good tolerance for pain…WOW. After a year of being in pain more or less the full time, trying all the meds and gimmicks, I am going the surgery route the week after thanksgiving…
I know many of you have been though this and I am looking for any suggestion on steps I can do to get ready for so that it will be a good as possible and suggestion on steps I can take in healing.
I am trying to cope with the day to day pain which goes from a 3-23. I really am counting the days Any suggestion on what works for others to lessen the pain besides a bottle of Jack. My wife and kids have been great and I feel really bad because sometime the pain is so bad, I snap at them. After this is done with I am taking them for a dad has been an not nice and I am sorry vacation…
Thank you all and god bless
