Hi all,
I had botox injections this past Friday, so today is day 5. I thought things were finally starting to improve as I had a pretty good day yesterday. Low pan level and even was able to take a nice long walk. But now today I am back in pretty bad pain. Have had to take 2 valium just to take the edge off. My BM this morning was nice and soft. Didn't really hurt when going but then started hurting immediately after. I soaked in a hot tub as usual and tried to apply ointment. My anus was so tight that I couldn't even get a finger tip in there. Then I noticed while poking around a bit that I felt a hard small like bump kind of nest to my external hemorrhoid, by the opening of my anus. (sorry for all the graphic info but I'm just so over this). I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back. I know she said to give the botox a week to start working but todays pain is just bad and makes me feel like i'm going in the wrong direction. I'm avoiding all foods really; just eating fruits, lots of veggies and a small amount of lean protein. I'm doing the prune juice, aloe vera juice, magnesium, collace. Could that hard bump be an abscess? Has that happened to anyone? Could id be a pimple form a clogged pore? Because I have also been liberally applying this herbal cream to the area so maybe that could clog a pore in that area?
I'm trying to stay positive but this had taken over my life. As I know it has for many of you as well. Hope you are all finding some relief and comfort. What an unlucky bunch we are!! Sorry for my negativity
