Thanks for the reassurance mpb. I think I will call a couple physio places today whether I get the referral yet or not. There are two or three places that specialize in the pelvic floor near me, including nerve pain etc so I hope that will help.
I just had to go quite a bit, probably since I've been eating more and had a mango smoothie last night with my Metamucil/restoralax (less upset tummy when I mix it all together!). I find using a warm bulb enema to be the easiest way for me to go when spasms set in especially. Were you able to get a bulb enema kit mpb? I have a feeling it may help you.
Firstly, the warm water soothes the spasm and lets everything relax a little more. I put tons of Vaseline on the tip, and actually use the bulb to insert a little air along with the water, then hold for 10-15 seconds or so. Then it's like everything just slides right out! It may help with the pain of going even when you have d - maybe will dilute things a little and makes sure the area is clean after.
I'm also looking into seeing a specialized phsychologist who works with chronic pain in my area. I've never been very emotionally intelligent, and my go to when things are rough is panic and negativity lol
