I believe so!! I have some awesome news.
So just a few minutes ago, I went to make a BM. It was fairly large. Due to my lack of liking softeners or a high fiber diet. However, and most importantly, there was absolutely NO pain. None. Not during, before or after. I have not taken any pain killers either.
So what I wanna do is share with you what I have done. I technically still have another week or so before 'by definition' it's healed. Umm, but I recommend this highly. It took me by total shock. I was expecting some pain or something. All it does now is itch a tiny bit.
1.Now. What I have been doing is taking in a LOT of Coconut oil. I can't keep telling you how essential I think this is. Borderline vital. Drink it, put it on the situation too. Won't nor cannot (unless you're somehow allergic) harm you.
2. Get a heating pad. No joke. You aren't supposed to sit on them... but to hell with that mess, I say! I've seriously spent DAYS... All day long sitting on my heating pad. Even tried to sleep on it. I feel it is way more efficient than the baths. Because you are getting direct heat to the area for a lot longer then you can get in a bath tub. In theory, maximizing relaxation of the muscle. Which as we all are familiar with, is needed for it to heal.
3. Of course don't have it cranked to high. Don't wanna burn yourself. I like to alternate between low and medium heat. Never high. Like 20mins on medium. 40 or so on low. Back to med for another 20. Though I've been guilty of sitting on it all day while on medium...
4. If you do this and stop the baths, do other things to keep it clean.
That is honestly how I believe I no longer suffer pain, my friends. The oil and the magic heat pad. I don't know if it will help the more serious fissures, but this worked for me. For now. So give it a whirl if you are up for it. If not, then I wish you all the luck while healing. I'll still be here in case my 'cure' fails me within the next few weeks.
