So by the time this appointment came, all the advice on the board had me nearly pain free! So I have you all to thank for that! I kept the bm's slithery soft and used the coconut suppositories.
I was hoping since I felt so good that he would tell me that I nearly had it healed. No such luck, he said he could see that it was chronic because he could see some muscle!
So I told him I had this about 2 months, the first month I thought it was a hemorrhoid and the second I had seen my regular surgeon and been treated with Procotofoam and was told if no better in 2 weeks get ready for LIS. I explained I came here cuz it was easier for me to keep appts between work being closer. Actually glad it turned out this way, cuz as my DH said, "I think you need to see an ass man!". lol. He said he wanted to try some proper treatment and see. He gave me Nifedipine cream (comes with finger cots, how cute, but I am not using them, first off I am not afraid to touch my own ahole and second, I will use a Q tip, thanks; something for the kids to play with). Anyway, also gave me Calmol-4 suppositories (zinc and cocoa butter) to help skin be soft and pliable. Is there a Calmol 2 or 3?
I love the set up here, he had me kneel on this padded thing and it will lift! Cool! A very nice nurse kept my butt covered too! Used some very nice warm lube, and I didn't feel any nasty tools either. He said I am "tight" down there, I guess that means I may not heal. Oh well, I am pain free right now, so I am just thankful. Oh so very thankful. I still can't sit on hard chairs for long and really thought the office should have more padded seating. I will have to suggest that. I used to wonder about OB docs and I have to wonder about these guys too, I would get sick of looking at butts all day. Of course, I deal with death, and do I get sick of that? Well, yes and no. But that is another story. SO! Three cheers for 1. Minimal Pain 2. No scopey thing in my pooper and 3. Getting on some proper meds.
I am hoping to get through some training I am to get through at work before any surgery talk goes around. We will see, it is a month long program.
I am going to have a beer now. How is everyone else's day going? Did everyone have a nice soft BM? I honestly never had one I didn't have to push until this happened. YAY!
