Thanks for the explanation. I don't if we are there yet. I have awful pruitis (burning, itching and light bleeding) with this which causes considerable discomfort. My CRS said something about cutting the anal skin if it comes to that but did not say anything about a graft. Maybe he's sparing me the angst until it gets to that point.
Has your discomfort abated now? I have been taking miralax nightly. My doc it was ok to take it every day. Is that your understanding as well. Doing so makes the BMs tolerable, not totally comfy, but tolerable. I'm going to try and avoid more surgery if I can. I was wondering if some folks ever get so bad or tired of the pain they go to a colostomy? That would be a last resort.
