2 day post LIS
I am still feeling very good. But I felt much better the first day. I am not having pain at all, haven't needed any pain medication yet. I am very sore and have a burning sensation like every thing is so raw down there. The cleaning with soap was drying out my bum, so I had to call the doctor and they gave me a dermatologic soap, and it have been so much better. I am sticking to a healthy diet, with a lot of fruit and vegetables, soups, chicken... And drinking tons of water, and of course my Miralax/Movicol. One dose every night ( it have been enough to maintain my poop soft, with the right consistence). I am not taking any sitz bath, but Maybe I will take one tonight with Epsom salts, to see if can sooth the rawness sensation( CRS said it was ok.) I am taking things slow, I took the week off to take care of myself. But essentially the LIS have been a positive experience. So things in my second day are like this:
Pain: Cero pain, haven't used any pain killers. Only thing I have is being very sore and a burning sensation.
Bleeding: some after the LIS and spotting the first day. In my second day no bleeding at all.
BMs : first 2 BMs painless and very easy. My BM today was painless, only a little tingle.But after that I got a burning sensation and a very minimum pain in the LIS that lasted 5 minutes. Then it went away.
Activity: I can go and do whatever I want without any problems at all. The only thing that bothers me is the burning and soreness. I can not apply anything in my bum. My CRS said I shouldn't apply anything for the first 3 to 4 days.
Incontinence: no incontinence
Leakage: no leakage.
