This past week:
Seems like skin irritation/rash around anus might have something to do with propolis cream. To be safe I stopped both the propolis cream and the propolis suppositories. Itchiness has come down significantly.
Only using:
TCM-based fissure cream, 5 times a day
TCM-based hemmie cream, twice a day
diltiazem+lidocane, once a day right after BM
coconut oil suppository, right before bed (sometimes I skip this).
Half cap of Miralax seems to be enough for me for the most part. On some days I do have a harder tip though - luckily not so hard that I'd re-open the wound.
Hemmie only comes out a little bit during BM now. Much easier to push back too. Discomfort of pushing back: 0.5-1.
On most days, tightness/prickly feeling/mild ache around anus right after BM for about 1-2 hours, then for the rest of the day I feel like a normal person for the most part. Can do yoga, but no other workout yet.
Don't lose hope. Keep on healing. Have faith that I can heal!!!!!
