Thank you so much for responding. I can't tell you how hopeful you have made me feel. It took me three months, but I think the most impact I have had is buying a slanted step stool for using in the bathroom. The brand I got was Morning Smile (great name, huh!), but there are many out there. The slanted stool mimics a crouching position for a BM. That was my turning point. Secondly, I do not allow myself to strain. Concerning food/drink, I take 2oz of aloe Vera juice not gel at night to help things move along the bus, shall we say. I am trying to cut the junk out too. This truly is the most pain I have ever experienced. It is worth than natural childbirth.
May I ask, whe you are starting to heal, was the external burning pain very painful? Mine is.
