So I saw the CRS doctor on 12/5 and it was right after I got back from vacation for a week in Florida. I had been taking Miralax for like a week and had no pain and good BMs the whole time on vacation.
He looked at it and I FINALLY was prescribed Diltiazem!! He said the fissure was healing and he would follow up in a month, but to call if it flared up again. Since then, going to the bathroom is not stressful anymore and I have been pain free since around Thanksgiving. I am still on softener and the fiber diet and avoiding bad stuff. The cream is working and I think I just need to be patient with it!!
The only thing is today there was blood but no pain. I think I slipped and had something that had a little too much spice in it. Also, I think nerves play a big role in my BMs. I had a dentist appointment and that made me nervous and that may have caused some stress on the muscle there. I am guessing that because I had the same thing before I saw the CRS doctor.
Ohh and the CRS doctor did say it was OK to weight lift as long as it doesn't bother me and of course to start light and not stress too much-avoid squats and things like that. Is that OK?? I had taken like 3-4 weeks off already and I just returned to the gym this week.
So, I wanna gain strength and gain weight back that I lost :( It's hard to stuff your face now cuz I know I cannot just eat everything
Thanks guys, I love this forum, it has really helped keep me on par with all this stuff. I wanted to update sooner but this has honestly moved back on my priorities since it hasn't bothered me in a while.
