I had surgery (fissurectomy) done 3 weeks ago today. I Don't know how to explain it. I am so happy I got it done. I feel like a normal human being again. Today I woke up early and went for a jog. After over a year of dealing with the fissure, the pain, the medication, the not knowing/wondering if I would ever feel no pain again, I can tell you now that getting the surgery done, was the best thing ever. OK, the first week after the surgery is a nightmare, you wonder if you are really going to get better, the pain, the blood, is intense, it is horrible. The second week I was still in pain, but i could literally feel the progress. The leaking will be their during the first week, you can feel the pain reseeding in the second week. Right now, on the third week I feel absolutely no pain from the "area" and the leaking is completely gone. I do feel some discomfort when I have a BM, but nothing bad, and I know that pain will eventually disappear. For all of you in fear or thinking of getting the surgery done, DO IT!. Do not second guess yourselves. It is nerve wrecking wondering if you should do it, or if you have it scheduled, good for you. I should have done it a long time ago. And let me tell you, it will not go away on it's own. If you have a fissure, the pain will go and come, ALWAYS. NOW I am just so happy knowing that the pain is over and will not come back, unless I get another fissure. But that's why I have been eating better, doing things differently. I am so freakin happy.
