Ok so managed to sleep a full 7 hours last night with just one cocodamol and one paracetamol. With these my pain is really only a 4 which is so much better than the Botox. I spent yesterday laid on my right hand side watching box sets on sky lol...I of course have children so had to get up occasionally to cook for them....think microwave meal not master chef. But all in all yesterday was a good day.
I will be having my sitz baths today and may....if I'm brave enough....have some toast.
I am surprised and don't want to be preemptory by how little pain I am in....I'm wondering if it will escalate on day 4 when theoretically the swelling should be at its worst, or whether it's waiting for the dreaded BM to really start to hurt.
All I can say right now is that I am happy with the level of pain....yes it's there...yes it stings...but nowhere like the pain from the fissure and nowhere near the pain from the Botox.
Please send me all your good vibes as I am very scared of infection as having a fistula has always been my worse nightmare.
Well off to get in my bath....here's hoping for a good day with very little pain
