Thanks! I am of course scared to add things but at the same time certainly don't want to ever have a BM like that again. Goodness. Did you have any hard/large BM's that hurt after awhile?

Hmmm...for the most part my BMs weren't very painful (although sometimes I would get the awful burning) -- it was the spasms that would start about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs after the BM that got me.
Did you see the stool? Was it large and mis-shapen/lumpy?
Maybe I should start a Saturday morning public-radio talk show............ "Turd Talk?" :roll:

Yeah for the most part my BM's aren't painful either, just burn sometimes. Until yesterday. I could just feel that ripping feeling a little. I did see it (to my dismay) and yes it was lumpy and huge! I was like seriously did that come from my little body???? TMI I know but hey turds are my life apparently....LOL
