Hi everyone! :hi:
I talked about this on my LIS thread - but I wanted to know about everyone's opinions and expiriences with spasms.
Here is my situation...I never thought I had spasms before. I read about people having intence, painful spasms and I never really expirienced them. Anyways, when I have a BM, I pretty much have to go little by little, just pinching off a centemeter at a time (sorry for the TMI). I do this because it keeps the stool kind of small as it passes. If I don't do this, my sphincter "tences" up. It is not painful, just feels tence and small. However, if I take MOM or stool softeners, I don't have to deal with this at all. Also, periodically through out the day or every other day I can get pinching feelings and ocasionally a stabbing feeling down there.
When my doctor did my rectal exam he said there were spasms. I really thought he was crazy because I did not feel anything but some fissure pain. He told me he wishes there was couple butts that I could stick my finger in to feel the difference in spastic ones vs regular ones (he is so funny!). Does he know what he is talking about or is he crazy? When I put in my nitro cream, I don't think my bum feels spastic at all!
I just want to know everyone's opinion's and expiriences because sometimes I think LIS will be pointless for me because I don't have the painful spasms. I know Juney did not have them and she feels LIS did not help her.
Thanks in advance guys!
