Hi All,
I have been suffering horribly for the past two months with a chronic AF that began to show signs of life during the month of February 2012. In the beginning I attributed minor pain and minimal blood on tissue paper after BM to possible hemmorhoids. The pain was bearable and continued on and off thru april. As of May, I have been suffering from brutal pain after each BM for about 6 to 10 hrs. I have been taking valium as needed and inserting nitroglycerin ointment twice daily for past 2 weeks. My colorectal surgeon observed fissure and stated it was high into rectum, not near exterior area. I am now scheduled for surgery this friday morning and of course, am not having any horrible spasm symptoms, just itching and slight burn sensation, although my bm's have been softer than usual. In a nutshell, do I go ahead with the surgery anyway even though I have had a few good days? I am worried that if I do not, my fissure will come back to life and destroy me again. I greatly appreciate any responses.. I am torn, literally...
