      it had improve somewhay 2 months after first lis then about one year in, it started again but no where near the pain prior to the lis. But still some inconvenience.

      Went to surgeon for colonoscopy check everything out and he said fissure still but small.

      So had second lis in March 6 month ago.

      Still not 100% but tolerable.

      Should do a follow-up with surgeon see how it's healing. Also thinking maybe get a second opinion.

      best of luck with your healing.

      staying positive.

      it is manageable.

      might get a second opinion later on.

      Stay positive. Take any small progress and time will heal.

      I tell myself it could be worse.

      the incision should heal faster than 6 weeks. Was it stitch or open?

      im no surgeon but maybe get a follow up consultation.
