I hope you are having an easier day today

Hi Steve kinda still a newbie to this forum but I've read so many of your past posts and they've been really helpful. I'm so glad u wrote all ur experiences as they have helpful tips and useful info...just sad ur going through this again. I hope your flare up subsides soon. I had a failed lis 3 months ago and my life still revolves around wretched AF. Hope u heal quickly.

Please don't accept a lifetime of pain without trying what worked for me:

TY OMB, I'm having a less painful day today, though it's still nagging a bit I can cope for now, luckily I had an old tube of Rectogesic in the cupboard which has proved a bit helpful.
Hope you feel ok

Hi Fernie, I know very much how you feel, truth be known my LIS was also a failure or at least that's what I think. I'm glad you found some of my old posts helpful, hope you start feeling better soon...

Steve,
What is REctogesic? Is it similar to Diliatzem? Have you been following all of the politics going on in the US?

Hi cheryl, Rectogesic (GTN) is the UK name for Nitro, more info here: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/digestive-health/medicines/rectogesic.html

Thanks, for the link, Steve. Probably very similar to Diltiazem.

I think the difference is that Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker and Nitro releases Nitric oxide and relaxes (dilates) blood vessels to promote healing.
