Rachael that did make me laugh about the gun to the head, glad you got the cream :D
At the beginning, I was in so much agony every day, I even ordered some Chinese cream that is meant to help these little SHARKS. (surely a little "fish" couldnt cause THAT much pain!)
Anyway, one of my sisters (vegetarian) was quite shocked and said the cream might have been made with endagered animal for all I know... to which I replied...The level of pain I am in, I would melt down my own Granny and stick her up my Bum if it was a guarentee cure!!!! She kinda got the message :D
As you say, If the Doc, or anyone, had ever had these evil things, they would know that we are dealing with a level of pain that cannot possibly be explained in the human language. Maybe Mork or ET have a word for it!
Childbirth, hahaha I laugh in the face of Baby's head "Crowning" Try "Crowning" every single day for weeks at every single BM, not like we can even opt for a C section for Poo!!
Please Go Away, I think the kicked in the butt feeling, is the trauma of what our poor butts have just been through during a BM. Even when it isnt a painfull one, just the fact thats its been used kind of leaves a bruised throbbing feeling.
It will be interesting to see what the Docs say is the reason though, you may find you have to actually kick your Doc up the Butt with a size 9 work boot though, for them to really give an acurate explanation!!
Just "Pain" Tired, so good to hear that you are getting there on your own. I know Surgery is sadly a "no choice" thing for so many people, and it has also had some brilliant results. But I want to do everything in my power to prevent it and touch wood, I seem to be winning. I read a blog about a guy who took certain vitamins for his, and it worked wonders. So I went and got them all and have been on them for two weeks today. I can honestly say, I am SOO much better than I was two weeks ago. I havent had a "Broken Glass" BM for over a week. I know it may not be just down to the vitamins. Im soing Sitz 3 times a day, complete fibre healthy diet, rectogesic twice a day etc. But for the last four days, I have only needed pain killers once each day, and just have this feeling that Im winning.
Having an appointment with the CRS next month is like red rag to a bull with me, as it makes me SOO determined to be fixed by then hehe.
Thank you for your encouragement, I shall continue and see where I end up.
What were you told to eat? It's always helpful to know if there is something else im not doing.
Thank you all soo much for your replys. Wishing you all pain free BMs, & total healthy happy lives.
