Just in case though, I think I should touch on how my diet made it like this again. The botox was great, but it was my pure lack of understanding fibre, that got me back into this rut again, years later.
You see, years after the injection it was great. If I ever had minor pain, Retogesic ointment solved it in a few days. However, a few weeks ago I started a more strict workout and diet. White rice/pasta with chicken/beef for every meal with eggs for breakfast Protein shakes and protein bars on top of that. They only fruit I was eating was unripe bananas - big no, no as unripe can cause constipation (the problem is that most people think a fully ripe banana is bad and chuck it out!).
Add that to all the meat I was eating - yeah. It wasn't good and the pain was unbearable at times.
However, only over the last day or so have I found a perfect setup that worked for me. I got rid of the bananas and held off the meat (the latter just to heal as I can slowly reintroduce after full healing). I had 40g of bran flakes for breakfast, oatmeal with almond butter for lunch and an egg sarnie for dinner (gotta get your protein for you to heal). BUT here's the BIG thing - after EVERY meal eat at least 1-2 of the following:
1 apple, 1 orange (I prefer the small, soft easy peel), 30g of dates (around 5-6 dates).
BOOM! I could go to the toilet without that unbearable pain and it's giving me a chance to heal!
It's awesome you've had the injection biscuit and this will sort you out but if you ever have issues after (or to help prevent it) I hope what I've found helps.
All the best
