    Hello,

    Sorry to hear about this Did you have stitches done? I have heard stitches can cause some discomfort at times. Did you have any other procedure done at the same time (removal of scarring, polyp removal, skin tag removal)?? I have my surgery scheduled for 3 weeks from now. I am a bit frightened but I cant continue to live like this with the fissure pain.
