Hi Sarah,
Glad to hear that you are recovering by the week!... It sounds like you are moving forward and keep up with everything you've been doing for continued healing....I also heard the same about itching and as long as you're confident you are keeping meticulously clean and dry in the recovery area with no signs of infection, I'm sure it's all normal and you're doing fine. I also had my op 3 weeks ago (but a fistulomy for a fistula and not a fissure) and seem to also be healing OK but still a bit sore. Takes a while to get through this bum stuff doesn't it ? !!! All the best to you and hope you get through it all very soon :)
Chronic Fissure diagnosed December 2011
Healed by Diltiazem around Feb 2013
Anal Fistula followed burst abscess in June 2012
2 internal troublesome piles remain & suspected, but undiagnosed, ongoing Levator Ani type symptoms & flare-ups
