[quote="Rachael 1984"]Oh GG, please don't hold it. You will make things worse. I know, you can't think straight right now. I can't either, but take stool softener, and breathe and relax on the toilet. Imagine your toes have roots and pull up from the ground with the right leg and release with the left. My Reiki teacher told me to do this! As silly as it sounds it works. Keep legs slightly raised, this helps BM come out easier.
Please post anytime to me. We can cry together through this. Have you used the Nitro. [/quote
Rache, my bm's have a slight pain, but then nothing....I'm really not having hard bm's anymore. I believe my fissure is still open and alive, but because I'm no longer eating much and because what little food I do eat contains fiber and the water I'm drinking my bms have been relativily mild.....its the pain afterwards that is making my life a living hell. So far today, I have cried the entire day, the entire day.......I keep getting these knife stabbing jabs in my bum that will not let up and because I'm soooooo tired of taking Naproxen or Aleve, I just decided to suffer today....my stomach is so torn from the ibuprofen, I'm beat.
Monday is the last day of my vacation, Monday I plan on taking the Nitro...I can no longer wait until Thursday....I know its not gonna work right away, but I have to start managing this pain because my job requires me to sit all day and I have to have help, hopefully in a few days I should feel some relief...but I will began the journey of Nitro Monday....wish me luck Rache and yes, lets do cry and rely on one another....there's an old saying...."misery does indeed love company" and I am miserable
God bless you Rache and have a good evening.
