Well, my LIS was not painless! And I missed out on a week and half of work, and two weeks would have been even better! Now, different Dr.s certainly have different procedures and maybe some result in easier recoveries. But if you have been better for an entire month, wow, I think I might consider waiting another month! Why rush it?
Now compared to the pain of the fissure, my recovery for the most part was not quite so severe, but I felt weak and I am sure that by resting for a week and lying around and taking it easy, I healed more completely within a month. And really, in all probability, it will take a month at least before you feel back to normal.
Now if you'd only been better a week, that might be different, after 11 months you are so much less likely to heal on your own. But a month? That is a great sign, at least in my medically uneducated eyes.
But if you have a "relapse," that might indeed be a sign it is time, after 11 months. I waited only seven before I had had enough!
