I am exactly two weeks into my first ever fissure.
Ok so I am overall doing better. I am still sore after BMs but the intensity is a lot less than those first few days when I could not do anything but lay in bed in misery.
My BM are regular now - every morning - sometimes 2x a day but at least now I feel I can count on that AM BM. I use a squatty potty and have finally gotten to the point that I have an urge and do not have to push much at all if any.
My question on Bleeding is - I am still spotting in the tucs pad sometimes even after easy and mostly pain free BM. It is not a lot of blood at all. Just a little tinge of pink dots - after I wipe two times it is gone so it is very minimal but there sometimes. I will go through a couple of days of no blood and then that little pink dot will be back. Is this normal healing?
Also on BM I have a question. I am def. having soft stools but now they are almost too soft - the first stool this am was formed (broken up formed) but after that I had to go again about 1/2 hr later and it was loose and not formed whatsoever like just a pile of mush. Did not hurt and the spams afterwards seem about the same. I have noticed this too soft stooling happening since yesterday - was more normal in the am but I had a PM BM that was the same soft stuff. It is like almost melted soft serve. I am planning on continuing my magnesium am and pm and the flax seed oil caps but cutting to one colace at night instead of morning and night and see how that does.
Any thoughts on these two topics?
