Since I have been on miralax, a little over a month, no pain during BM's but a little while after, the burn starts and used to last all day. I stopped using the nifedipine 3 weeks ago because it was starting to aggravate me and was no longer effective. So just the sufrexal, I'm still taking ibuprofen and muscle relaxants but only the morning dose. Frankly, I'm afraid to try a day without the meds til I have to, seven days before surgery. Yes, alpine, I am definately still having the LIS. Just last night I had a terrible thought; what if I heal this baby with the magic cream, doc gets me on the table, sees the fissure healed and decides NOT to operate while I'm asleep and unable to grab him by the scrubs and DEMAND he do it regardless?! Oh, we AF sufferers really can work ourselves into a tizzy, eh? Well, he better not he has no idea the wrath he will face!!
I will say that this stuff doesn't stop pain or spasms at all but I think it's healing just the same, am thinking of starting nifedipine again and alternate. As I said before, it could b the magnesium stopping the spasms I don't know but whatever....if it's even better by next week I'll b convinced it's the cream.
