Anyhow, I'm taking magnesium - and I've decided to try sitz baths - maybe that will help.
Darn, just when I think I might be turning the corner . . .
Hang in there - give magnesium a ago...fingers crossed, though magnesium I hear is a tricky one. too much and you have diarrohea. I think I got it just right - 450mg, I'm 200lbs and 6ft.
Do you use nifedipine?
just to add on to the magnesium part. 400mg is the RDA for magnesium per day, so it should be safe. And besides keeping ur stools soft, magnesium is able to relax ur muscles, and thus relieving your spasms to a certain degree.
