Hello all;
Typing this on my phone, so forgive ant typos. First let me say that while I have no desire to have surgery, I am open to it if necessary. At the moment I still want to try to heal it naturally, surgery would not be an option now, even if I were ready, cuz I am on coumadin for recent pe and dvt and won't be off til Feb.
So, I am on my own until then so I am focusing on healing, not just managing with it. Which brings me to my question . . .
Those of you who healed without LIS . . .
1. What did you do, what worked for you?
2. How long did it take?
3. What stages of healing did you go through?
4. Did you heal completely or are you just managing with it?
I guess I am just asking how did you do it. I know there are some succes stories out there and have been trying tgo search, but there not obvious threads that I have found and I am not familuar enough to search by name or profile.
So far, I am using the nitro ointment, miralax, additional fiber and plenty of water. I soak after each BM and at least twice more during the day. I was applying vit e oil, then a healing salve I found a month ago, but I stopped using it because I wondered if it was doing any good or hindering. I originally starting treating wihtout the oils in July and made good progress for a month, then haf a setback about two months ago and been struggling since. Only difference is the oils, so I went back to the beginning. Lot of contradictions out there and I am lost.
I will say this. I have some burning during bm, but my main discomfort and raw pain start about an hour later and is only when I am upright for several hours. Just seems like I have hit a stall, nit getting better, but not getting worse either.
Really need your advice and appreciate your replies.
