Lateral internal sphincterotomy - normal for it to hurt at incision site 1 wk later during BM?

Question

Hello, I had a lateral internal sphincterotomy done last Friday. The actual fissures don't hurt anymore, but it hurts where the incision was made, when I have a BM now. I looked in a mirror and I think it looks ok, the pain is pretty much gone now, no bleeding since right after surgery, and I make sure I get my 25-30 grams of fiber a day to help. Is this normal?

Hi. Almost no incision is completely healed after just one week.
