A member asked:

I had anal fissure -lis surg on tues. after 1 very tough bm yest and one semi tough today. pain is bad just like fissure symptoms. did surg not work?

Too early: You ate only 3 days after surgery. Healing takes time. Use warm bath soaks & avoid constipation. Follow up with your surgeon soon about the healing.
