Chin up, OMB! I'm sure you are right - this is part of the normal roller coaster. I'm hoping for a better day for you tomorrow.
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!

Oh, thankyou sweet lovely Sav xxxxxx

I'm not as bad today... Thankfully! I had my pre op done this morning... Swabs, bloods weight etc. I still haven't managed to put on any weight.. Thought I might of. :(

I'm getting fed up of my bum, and it's imposed limitations. I just want to go for a lovely long autumnal walk... Then sit in a nice warm cafe with some cake and hot chocolate..... And then walk some more. It seems like it's an un reachable dream right now.

Ugh!

I'm still very sore. I felt quite a sting with yesterday's bm, and have been very uncomfortable since.
Only 2 weeks until my EUA and then hopefully I'll know what has gone so wrong, and what can be done about it.

I hit the 3 months post op mark yesterday.... And every day is a painful struggle.

That sucks. I was hoping you'd be noticing an improvement. I guess the best thing to do is just try to get through the two weeks and quick and painlessly as possible, and know that you are doing the right thing by having another exam. Sorry you're not feeling any better. It's just ridiculous!

So sorry to hear of your continued struggle OMB. At least you have a finite number of days now you know you have to get through until you can at least get some information. This Doctor sounds highly skilled so hopefully he'll be able to get you back on the mend real soon. I really admire your strength and determination through all this. It can't be easy. Hang in there. :hugs:
