So a little bit of an update. Had my 2nd BM after the starting the Nifedipine and have had some improvement. It could be from a variety of factors (I'm taking colace again at the doctors suggestion, plus got more exercise yesterday). There was less pain on BM, but there was still some blood. I'd say it was a 2 out of 10 today, where as it was closer to a 5 a couple days ago (and 8 out of 10 when this started). The burning lasted less time than before.
I can feel the spasms starting to come on again, but they lasted less time yesterday than the day before that, and the day before that. This has really become the most troubling symptom I have. I am pretty sure it's spasms, kind of like a deep dull pain down there?
The marker that really seems to show improvement is that I have less pain when doing my kegels Anyone else do the kegels? I do the kegels probably too much to test where things are at. Yesterday I did a few with no pain... that was a pleasant surprise.
The other thing that seems to be helping with this is the prunes and figs I have every night before bed. Seems to really help regulate me, and I have noticed a difference on the days I don't do this.
Time for my morning bath (I'm sooooo damn sick of baths!!!!)
