Hoose,
I think you have to get it up in there to 1 cm.

I was advised by several CRSs that outside is enough. But I would guess that inside would work maybe faster and lubricate at the same time. My sphincter was too tight for inside application but if it works for you than go for it. I used it about 6 times a day, maybe even more - before BM and after. Just make sure to wash your hands really well for "several" reasons LOL.
Best of luck !

I'm going to have one loose butthole when its all said and done. hahah

HEY BUDDY _ LOL _ if that happens you light a candle every day to your guardian angel, ha ha ha!!! My butthole is still so strong even after the LIS ! Go figure - maybe I should be a sideshow in some Circus - opening bottles and stuff :oops:

THought I would give you all a update since I started taking the ointment. I have no bleeding now, very little pain during bm, and feel fine after a bm. There is an occasional muscle spasm/ache. Ive been on the ointment for one week this coming tuesday.

Hoose,
Glad it is working for you and that you are feeling better.

Great news! Keep it up, even though you are feeling better!

Yes, don;t stop what you are doing, the saddest thing about AF is just when you think you are doing better it reminds you otherwise. Can't let your guard down for a long time, for months to come...

That's true, Kim. 4 mos after LIS and I'm still paranoid about what I eat.

I can stop being paranoid LOL - I am on square one
MOM is my favorite beverage now
