Karinann, I found that Colace gave me bad gas, and that the gas made BMs more painful by making them explosive. So I stopped Colace. Maybe your gas is caused by the Colace too.
I am taking kondremul, and I love it. It tastes nice, and my BMs are soft and regular. It's a mineral oil emulsion. I ordered it from Amazon because I couldn't find it in the stores.
I second Please-go-away's advice about the heat pad. I sit on a hot water bottle for hours. I even take it to work because mornings are worst for me, and having a lovely heat source under my bum makes me feel so much better.
Good luck!
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
