The post op spasms were terrible Steve, worse than just with the fissure because everything is so sore when it clenches
And your right about the pain killers, they don't really help much when it comes to spasms. I was so happy when the crs told me they were calling in the valium and even happier when it worked immediately. I didn't ask , I just called to see if it was common for this to happen and told them I was having problems sleeping. It really does help and It would be nice if it you guys could get it. He only gave me 30- 5mg's. I don't think they would just keep giving them to me,lol
I do know of people here in the US who can go to certain doctors who will give them about anything they ask for, though, which I totally disagree with. As NG wrote in his post , these things can be very addictive if taken for long periods, but very useful when used for the spasms which as you know are most of the time temporary. Thank God!
