Hi, I wonder does anyone have experience of these two procedures which I had done 3 weeks ago - Fissurectomy, anal advancement falp and injection for piles.

I was unable to sit down for 2 weeks and now a week later I have agonising pain from the interal sphincter in spasm that feels very much like the pain from the fissure only 10 times worse

Is this normal ? I have seen my surgeon who says that the pain will change. It has to some gegree as the pain from the surgical wounds has now almost disappeared, but this internal pain is almost unbearable - even with taking tramadol and codeine !

Does anyone have any experience of this and any indication of how long this might take to heal and pain subside ?

Many thanks

    Hi, I am new to the forum. I started having problems about ten years ago with anorectal abscesses. I have probably had about 8 or more. Several times they have led to sepsis because The symptoms are rather ambiguous such as a achy lower back, trouble tying my sneakers, difficulty lifting one leg when climbing the stairs and general fatigue. All of these symptoms could be from another source and the abceesses occur in different spots, are high, cannot be felt by examination by Dr. I now have a very painful anal fissure which my Dr tells me is very large, chronic and I have been suffering from it for quite some time. I have already had a sphincterotomy. My surgeon had referred me to a Specialist who operated on me about 7 wks ago for a fistula but discovered it was just the large chronic fissure I have already referred to. He now wants to do an Advancement Flap procedure but feels that I have an active abecess going on. Has anyone had a similar experience? I have a lot of bowel trouble but do not have Crohns or Colitis. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
