Suffered in excess of ten years..

I can Say honestly feel better already then I did pre operation. It still hurts when I have a BM but the duration of the pain actually seems less and going was no problem at all.. A delayed pain did hit me afterwards.. It appears there is more room to go now.. I *hit like a little puppy dog before lol.. Small no room, spasms and shooting pain was the norm. I went to go see a doctor the other day and I broke down in tears. I'm a 230 pound considered to be pretty rugged guy and this was just buckling pain for years and years that I could not take anymore.The doctor felt so bad for me he got me in for surgery the very next day.

Ill report on progress but no regrets here on day two.

If anyone any questions I'd be happy to try and answer them. Operation was pretty easy put me to sleep wake up done.

    Hello Anthony I am just curious how your recovery is going, I am having surgery this coming Thursday for a chronic anal fissure, That has not healed up after eight weeks, my question would be what did You eat to help manage to avoid constipation?

    Hi, Anthony

    I have surgery next week. I have been suffering with extreme pain after bm for up to 10 hours a day. 3 years no life and besides working in excruciating pain my only friend is my bed. I'm scared about the surgery can you let me know what to expect?

    thank you

    are you still happy you got this done? it seems like your recovery was pretty quick compared to others. I'm going in on Friday and I'm dreading it for the pain afterwards from what others are saying.
