Hi! Exactly a week ago, I was prescribed "Diltiazem 2% and Lidocaine 1.5%"
I started off using it with 100% satisfactory! It did good to take away the pain. The itch was not a big deal since it went away after about an hour.
Everything was going well until late Monday. I guess my diet was not working because I was very constipated. It took me from Monday until about 20 minutes ago to have a smooth BM (Well..I wouldn't call it smooth because it hurt a lot. I meant smooth as in...I actually could go.) and I think I might have re-teared my fissure! Since Monday, I've been trying and not succeeding and have put a lot of strain on my fissure. I fear the re-tear is here
Can anyone help with my diet? It doesn't really matter what I did before because obviously it didn't work. I would just like recommendations for fiber intake, the right foods, and other things like that!
Also, healthy bathroom tips would be nice too. I'm tired of straining.
The ointment seems to be doing it's job but some significant pain is back and is causing me anxiety
Please help me!
