Hi SB2,
I had the needle stick pain after LIS and I had a couple that felt more like an ice pick. I called them stingers. Mine would last 5 seconds to 15 seconds. The frequency and pain intensity decreased over time and went away after 5 weeks. I did not always know if the stingers were from the sphincter cut, incision, fissure trim or a combination. I did get a dull a ache the first couple of weeks sometimes right after the BM.
I never used any creams or ointments per doctor, but there were times that I wanted to use something.
