If you didn't have blood the first time, it doesn't necessarily mean a rip. I was also in a similar situation about a month ago. After a case of diarrhea i had the hard stool aftermath and come close to bursting in tears due to the pain and ripping thoughts while passing the hardest stool after this thing happened to me. Lost faith immediately etc etc, then after a week of struggling and gulping huge amounts of mineral oil and macrogols i was back to normal and actually even better.
Actually now that i think of it, every time i have a plug and hard stool pain afterwards, i somehow proceed with healing. Then again maybe its due to being more careful and using GTN again... Not sure, still trying to figure it out, but i have seen some other members claiming the same.
