Hey Delasama,
Good to hear from you again - Sounds like you are still in recovery but hey, took me a year & 5 months to finally heal naturally and this sounds like the classic roller coaster ride of healing naturally......Can you get an opinion from another CRS??? It doesn't sound like the one you are currently seeing is inspiring much confidence in you?......
I've read good stuff on the Manuka Honey but not too sure about the Cinnamon either?? Do you use Vaseline still pre BM for lubrication? - that seems to really help a lot of people.
Chances are if you've got this far and are generally feeling a lot better with a lot less pain, then you are actually doing OK. That twinging pain and odd paper cut feeling can still be pretty normal at your stage because that area is still so delicate and will continue to be for around 2 years after the original tear. If you're doing all you need to and producing those soft poops, no straining etc, then hopefully, you are actually healing OK although slowly. It just takes a hell of a lot of patience and being careful for a long long time but you'll get there if you're practising all the above.........Have faith.......& hang in there!
