Hi All,

Now I am running on 3rd month. Wondering if this Fissure will be healed. Its definitely improving. more good days than bad days. i can go to work, sit and actually focus on my work. pain is on scale 3-4/10. It still bothers me when i walk or driving. I am not sure if i will get better on its own.

Can anyone share their experiences with LIS and SAD. I am thinking of SAD since i am scared of cut on my bum.

i already spoke to Dr. Cranford at Sandy's clinic about the issue. Does anyone have experience with Dr. Cranford at Sandy's clinic.

I have following questions:

1)does SAD interfere with healing of the fissure or make it worse?
2) how are people doing after SD? Are they back to normal life or still having discomfort.
3) When expert such as Dr.Cranford does it, how does it work in just one treatment or a one day? I was thinking about that route.
4) would this avoid any future porblems such as Hammorides, Fissures, etc..


All, please share your experiences.

Thank you all.

Hi sandman. I JUST HAD THE OPEN PARTIAL LATERAL SHPINCTEROTOMY OCTOBER 3, 2014. I'M STILL IN RECOVERY STAGE. OH ALSO HAD TO HAVE A SKIN TAG THE SIZE OF HAVE A BEAN REMOVED HANGING ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY ANUS. I WAS SUFFERING FROM A CHRONIC FISSURE, WHEN YOU HAVE CHRONIC FISSURE, THEY WILL NOT HEAL ON THERE OWN, BEING THE FACT THE FISSURE IS TORN TO THE CAPACITY AND TURNS INTO A SORE(ULCER). THEN SURGERY IS RECOMMENDED FOR CHRONIC FISSURES AND SKIN TAG REMOVAL. I WAS UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA, AS AN OUTPATIENT SURGERY. 20 MINUTES AFTER THE ANESTHESIA WORE OFF, THAT'S WHEN MY THROBBING PAIN CAME, I WENT HOME MOANING MAYBE TWO HOURS STRAIGHT LAYING ON MY STOMACH. THE HOSPITAL GAVE ME A VIKINTING PILL, FOR THEY SAY THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME IBPROPHEN, BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT COULD CAUSE ME TO BLEED. SO I TOOK IBPROPHEN WHEN I GOT HOME 3 TIMES THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING. ALL THAT MEDICATION MADE ME NAUSEATED, JUST NOW GETTING OVER NAUSEA AND CURRENTLY NOT TAKING ANY MORE MEDS. BEING THE FACT THE DOCTOR SAID SHE PREFERRED TO GIVE ME AND OPEN INSTEAD OF CLOSED SURGERY, BECAUSE SHE SAID FROM THE PAST THAT CLOSED SURGERY WITH STICTHES HAVE OPENED OR TORN WITH PATIENTS AND CAUSE A MAJOR PAIN AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET SURGERY AGAIN, SO SHE DOES THE OPEN SURGERY LEAVING THE WOUNDS OPEN AND THAT WAY IT WILL HEAL FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND CAUSE A BETTER RECOVERY AND 95% HEAL RATE WITHOUT CAUSING MORE TRAUMA TO THE WOUND. ALSO I HAD BEEN DOING A HIGH FIBER DIET AND DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER AND GREEN TEA, OVER 4 MONTHS AGO, BECAUSE OF A NEW DIET I STARTED SO I LOST 25 POUNDS AND EATING HEALTHIER, SO THAT GAVE ME THUMBS UP WITH DOCTOR, ONLY THING SHE RECOMMENDED WAS TO KEEP THAT DIET GOING AND TO TAKE A FIBER SUPPLEMENT, I TAKE BENEFIBER TWICE A DAY, I TAKE THAT BECAUSE THE OTHER FIBER SUPPLEMENTS HAVE PHYSILLUM LAXATIVE IN WHICH I CAN'T TAKE IT IRRITATES MY INTESTINES AND CAUSE ME TO GET SICK. SO BENEFIBER IS THE ONLY NATURAL SUPPLEMENT WITH WHEAT INGREDIENT. I SO THIS I WILL BE DOING THE REST OF MY LIFE AND I HAVE SOME BURNING WITH BOWEL MOVEMENTS BECAUSE OF BOTH MY WOUNDS BEING OPEN. I USE MY SHOWER TO CLEAN MY ANUS 2-3 TIMES A DAY TOO. AND THE DOC' GAVE ME BACTERIN OINTMENT TO PUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY ANUS TO PROTECT THE WOUND FROM BACTERIA OR INFECTION AND THAT'S IT. SO IT'S ALL A WAITING GAME OF HEAL TIME. I HAVE FOLLOW UP IN TWO WEEKS. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ME AND YOU ALL HAVE MY PRAYERS.
