Hi friends old and new,
Apologies for being absent for so long! I'd been hoping to make a triumphant return to this page as a success story, but now I'm not so sure. I had LIS in late April and, until a few days ago, had been on a very slow but steady upward climb.... I'm talking weeks of very little to no pain. For some inexplicable reason, my spasms have resumed over the past few days- not as severe as pre-LIS (when they felt like broken shards of glass!), but now more like an electrical current that shows up throughout the day for no good reason and then vanishes. I've been a good girl: high fiber, water, Miralax, stool softener, the whole regimen, and there's been no straining or blood/evidence of retear. Is there anyone else in my boat? How worried should I be that my sphincter is regaining its pre-LIS strength and temper? I'm thinking that maybe after a summer of walking and fair amounts of activity, the past week of photo editing in a chair has set me back. I've been using a memory foam cushion for the tush- what else can I do to baby my bum? Those with office jobs: how are you enduring this? What do you do to get through the day and promote healing? I'm afraid I'll never be fit for office work again. I'm just not feeling so swell. :(
