I am newly diagnosed with an AF from a colon & rectal surgeon. Rx that compound with the Lido. Using it for 3 weeks since.
I did have a constipated episode right before the awful pain started, but it wasn't until after a few really loose stools did I experience the awful pain. I don't usually get constipated, so I was not too sure that it was constipation.
I was feeling better after 2 weeks, but now that I had some pretty loose stools, I am back to about 48 hours straight of constant pain, like it was at the onset.
How could this happen? I don't think I'm straining because it's all really loose.
For 2 weeks, I didn't do anything extra. Just applied the compound.
But now that the pain has re-emerged, I am doing a sitz bath, and a heating pad.
I do a sitz bath once a day, sometimes more. It helps for like, 15 minutes after, but the pain comes back.
As long as i'm sitting on the heating pad, Im ok. But about 20 minutes after I get up, the pain comes back.
