Hi Cari - just want to say, been there, done that, I'm all fine now.
I had many set-backs over the months it took me to heal fully. The set-backs got further and futher apart, and healed more and more quickly. I well remember how they used to get me down. I'd get so depressed thinking I'd never be free of it. But I am free now.
A diary is so useful for recording progress, because it really does have to be measured in weeks and months.
Hang in there! You will be all right! You are doing so, so well.
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
