Sputnik - Alright, that's the same metamucil I'm taking then. I didn't think about calling my GP and seeing if I can get medicine. Not a bad idea... I wonder if he would though because he is the one that referred me to the horrible doctor because he acted like he didn't know what to do. Thanks again for your reply!
Dawn- Thanks again for your help! I called and found another doctor that will see me next week, which is much sooner than a month from now, but of course it still seems so far away. The receptionist was super nice, so hopefully that's a good sign. The doctor had good reviews online which is also a plus, and he's a CRS which makes much more sense than the general surgeon I was sent to previously. You're right though, a long waiting list usually is a good sign the doctor knows what they're doing. I'm tempted to call and make an appointment with the first doctor anyway maybe as a follow up for a second opinion if nothing else. I didn't actually make the appointment with that doctor because the receptionist said I should probably see someone sooner. That doctor was at a very prestigious hospital, so I'm guessing that's why. I'm glad to hear the sitz baths have a similar effect that the ointment has. At least I'm feeling better than I was after that horrible exam on Thursday since I've been taking the metamucil, doing the sitz baths, and changed my diet. That's something. :o
