There's a small minority of people that don't get relief from LIS, this can be either that the surgery was ineffective (not enough muscle cut) or that the surgeon was over-zealous with the knife and caused nerve damage or exposed sphincter fibres (I think this happened to me ) maybe it's none of them and scar tissue had grown back from the surgery.
These are mainly my own theories as to why we get ongoing pain after LIS, if in doubt see your CRS and make sure he/she is a GOOD one with plenty of experience!!
