Hi everyone
Since my last post i've got 3 new retears... 2 during camping with my family, despite great effort to keep diet-fibers-fluids-hygiene under control. You can imagine what it did to my spirit. No matter how hard I try, my butt lives his own life and rules mine... The only positive thing is that they lasted 2-3 days only, pain didn't pass 6 and no spasms, so I could enjoy my vocation, even if not for the fullest.
A week ago I visited my doctor, complaining about tightness, pressure and urgency during BM plus retears. She pescribebed rectal rockets, it's large suppositories with nifedipine, lidocaine and bit of steroid ( she said it's OK for up to 6 weeks ). They are expensive - 124 $ for 10 pieces, but fully covered by my insurance. If that won't help, next step wiil be dilation.
Did anyone used those rockets? I'm willing to give it a try, see if I am able to push it in my so narrow passage. Before I used nifedipine but not too much inside since I could insert only tip of my finger without pain.
