OK guys and girls, I think its about time we share our experiences about the issues we have after we are healed.
I reckon my fissure healed up in mid october, and I have been painfree ever since. However, sometimes I still get 'issues' like itching, irritation, the feeling of tightness, prickeling etc. Usually these things are linked to a harder than usual BM, but they can also just occur for no apparent reason.
Since going glutenfree and following the FODMAP diet, I have had some more firm BMs, and pretty much ever since, I have had irritation. Its not like the burning which started 1/2 hour after bM and faded away hours later. This is more like an all day irritation, and I have found excersice can aggrivate it. Some days I can go for hours after a BM with no issues, and then it starts in the evening. (Not very caracteristic of a fissure)
I have tried to get a good look in the mirror, but I see nothing wrong. I just cant seem to figure out what is causing this irritation. My guesses include skintags, hems, scartissue and small retears. Lately I have ruked out hems, since I feel absolutly nothing in there. If its scartissue or tags, I can live with it, but my biggest fear is the small retears. I wish I could rule them out too.
So, if you have healed, and still have similar issues, please let me know your experiences and thoughts
