Ok and use the CO as often as possible, it will never be too much. I use it now about 5 times a day, but early on it was maybe 10. Good luck.

10 times? wow, that's a lot. that's definitely impossible for me when I have to sit around in the office all day.
I usually soak cotton balls with it and put them in before going to work and keep it in there until next BM which sometimes isn't until I'm back home. After BM (if I'm at home) I put a new one in right away. If BM at work then I use some OTC creams until I'm back home.

Just my two cents, my physiotherapist told me to avoid any core strengthening exercises since they increase pressure in the anal region.

P&H,

Can't argue with that. I'm a firm believer that your body will let you know what you can and cannot do.

Yeah, I learned this the hard way last Sunday
Will give it some more rest until next week and then carefully test the waters what exercise work and which to avoid.

Thank you for the tips.
How do you know when is healing though,less pain and blood,more burning or vice versa.Or just everything disappears at once

In my case the constant pain turned into occasional pain and went from burning/itching to a dull pain. The gaps of pain-free-ness are getting longer and longer with every week. And yes, first the blood stopped and then later the pain started to decrease.

Have acute for now,checking all,trying coconout oil only for a while,then Rectogesic.
Noticed today laying on my terace with naked bum also helps,cool breeze warm sun,and coconut oil,even better than sitz bath.

Suggest to continue only with the coconut oil, otherwise it may set you back. Use it frequently, also.

Ok dude..you are master Yoda here.
And thank you very much for the tips.
