I saw my CRS today who said my fissure is still there and recommended surgery. Of course, he made it sound like no big deal-said I would only need 1 or 2 days to recover and I could resume all normal activity the day of my surgery. So now, I have to make the decision. What I am struggling with is:
1) I have been dealing with this on and off for 7 months, how much longer can I take it?
2) Right now, I am not having much pain at all with almost no spasms, so do I really need surgery?
3) I'm only 30 and don't want to be incontinent the rest of my life
4) I'm afraid if I don't have surgery and think I have healed it, it will just re-tear, like it did before.
I know surgery is a totally personal decision, really just venting my worries and frustrations. Thanks for letting me!!
