Wed. hurt a lot. I decided to stay home Thurs. and try to heal.
Thursday was not totally without pain but it was a whole lot better. There was no excruciating pain and most of the day it never rose above mildly uncomfortable, except for right after the BM in the morning. At that time it was pretty painful , not the BM itself but the spasm that came right after.
I have taken off today as well. Again the BM itself was not really painful it began to hurt imediately after the feces passed. There has been no blood since Thursday 4/12. Anyway, I laid in the tub 15 to 20 minutes, pain ceased, got up and ate brkfst. intermittent pain began an hour or so later, mild in level of severity though in comparison to Wed.
It has been a week now that I have been applying the deltiazem, in reading accounts on theis forum I am figuring it may be several more days before I can expect anything like a pain free day.
Does that sound reasonably correct to you guys?
Kim/Hugh,
I am taking your advice and doing nothing. When the pain is slight to nonexistent I am remembering that I have a wound and I need to do nothing so it can heal instead of trying to do chores and repairs etc here oln the farm. Its hard but I know that is the smart thing to do.
Thanks and God Bless All!
