Hi Sandman - I do not have painful spasms now, but I do have IBS and spend quite a lot of time in the loo!
However, not having the spasms is 100% improvement, in my opinion.
Do try to do AD,
but start small. And use the suggested lubricants on here, nothing hard on your bum!! Good luck. It does help, just takes time and patience. use a Sitz Bath too. Has been a treasure for me...so to speak. (Never thought the day would come that I would think of soaking my bum in warm water as a "treasure".)
