Nifedipine is very safe and I didn't have any side effects from it. Unlike nitroglycerin which gave me headaches. Use it twenty minutes or so before a BM, and after. Then once or twice during the rest of the day. As dmcff said, soft BMs, but not overly soft like diarrhea, are essential for healing. This means eliminating from your diet anything that can cause constipation or very bulky BMs. But try not to be nervous about eating, as can sometimes happen when we start dreading the next morning in the bathroom.
