Has anybody ever come across this?
I have been applying 0.4% GTN (Nitro) for six weeks now. The pain before i started the GTN course was unbearable both during BM's and for 5-6 hours afterwards due to spasms. The pain during the BM has long since gone away and at most i just feel a slight tingling sensation now however it has taken me the full six weeks to get the spasm pain down to a pain rating of 1 out of 10. I say pain but it is more just a mild discomfort that only lasts on and off for about 2-3 hours after the BM.
However things have changed over the past few days - the pain first turned into what i can only describe as a buzzing sensation (Sweetbugaboo described it as a mild elctrical current). Today i have next to no pain but an insane itching sensation - now my diet has not changed, i have not applied any new ointments and the area is always kept as dry as possible (i pat it with cotton wool after my morning bath).
Has anybody else experienced this itching sensation? My girlfriend says its a sign of skin healing with the skin fibres joining back together however i have had so many setbacks from the fissure i refuse to get myself excited by anything nowadays!!
Any thoughts?
