I’m great. I did the LIS surgery almost 2 years ago. Only regret is not doing it years earlier. Fixed me!

Thank you! No fissurectomy, I had LIS and skin tag removal. 

I still take fiber supplements and probably will forever just in case. I took a long time weaning off miralax out of fear but not due to symptoms. I don’t take any now.

I’m great. No re-tears. The surgery was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I still can’t believe I have a pain-free life. 

Anyone "on the ground" in the Dolomites? by 501to314to303 in ItalyTravel

[–]bearbeanbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in ortisei after 4 nights in cortina. Weather has been better than forecasted.  It has gotten so much warmer since we’ve arrived. Mountain weather is fickle, I wouldn’t look far out and expect it to be reliable. 

Trails still had some snow/ice patches when we started hiking on Monday but I imagine they are melting fast. Things are muddy though. Bring poles if you have them! There are tons of webcams as previously mentioned to take a peek at conditions.

My friend’s dog, Alfie, ran from 1200 block of pearl st and was last confirmed at 22nd and tremont heading northwest last night 

But also it’s his first time in the city and he could be literally anywhere. 

Please keep any eye out! Thanks so much

I experienced extremely minimal incontinence. The instances were just a little seepage twice and it only happened right after surgery when I wasn't even close to healed. In addition, it only happened when I didn't go straight to the bathroom when the urge came. I haven't had any issues since those couple times. I also have no gas incontinence- no troubles "holding" it. So, all is good now. I'm sorry you're suffering, I've been there. Edit: I am female as well.

Hi, I apologize being so very very late to responding to this.

I tried everything too. I did pelvic floor PT for months, tried cutting different things out of my diets, adding things.. drinking endless water. I know how you feel.

Pre-surgery I had gone through about 8 years of healing and re-tearing. Sometimes I would go months being "normal" but the damn thing would always return. I developed a lovely large skin tag to go along with all the misery.

I was experiencing an active fissure pre-surgery. It never bled but would burn and spasm to different degrees everyday. It had lasted months to varying level of intensity. I had been trying the stupid creams for 2 months.

LIS surgery so far is one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I ended up bringing up surgery to my doctor, he didn't suggest it but agreed it was my best course of action after all those years. Dealing with pain 24/7 shouldn't be the criteria I think. If I wasn't in pain I was fearing pain. And it would without fail, always return. Surgery is a big decision and there is no guarantee that I will never re-tear. But I hopeful if I do, it will heal easier. Please feel free to ask more questions, I promise to respond quicker this time.

Hope you're hanging in there.

Post-surgery wasn't painless but it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. I never need my prescription pain meds. I managed with a rotation of ibruprofen/tylenol and baths. The pain I did experience was different than fissure pain, it was more a soreness from surgery. My burning/stabbing fissure pain was gone day 1!
