Hi,
I had LIS Surgery Nov 2019 after my chronic fissure wouldn’t heal and an anal skin tag removed. I am still in chronic pain. it’s not the same pain as my fissure pain, but i wake up “ok” and after i go to the bathroom its like groundhog day. pain all day long until i go to bed. My skin tag is also slowly growing back and throughout the day seems to get inflamed and all i feel is a “bubble” in my butt like there is a string attached and someone is tugging on it. I also experience a lot if itching and burning I haven’t been able to sit or work for over 3 years. I no longer leave my house anymore either. I can barely walk, bend, lift anything, I have tried Gabapentin (it didnt work). They want to do a nerve block, but im scared. they did a scope to see if there is another fissure or a fisula track. they didn’t see anything. ive tried accupuncture, PT, flexeril, valium and biofeedback. nothing is helping. i am at UCSF and no one knows what’s wrong with me. I think personally the pain might be due to the fissure scar? its a guess at this point. i am so frustrated and depressed! i don’t recognize myself anymore. has anyone experienced this? does anyone know a good anal Fissure specialist? I have been denied from the Mayo clinic 3x. I just don’t know what to do at this point. I also had my gallbladder removed in march 2020 which didnt help matters. Thank you
