Rusty, I want to second your idea of trying nitro instead of nifedipine.
I had to try all three drugs before I found one that works for me. I was on nifedipine for about 2 months with no relief. Diltiazem was immediately more effective. Then I had to switch to nitro because the dilt. made me itch and gave me a rash. The nitro is also a lot more effective for me than the nifedipine. I'm just saying, different treatments work for different people and if one is no good, you are right to try another.
I'm hoping for relief for you soon.
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
