Ok. i may try to keep a diary especially so i can track duration and intensity of spasms with foods and activity. Thanks for that suggestion. I was able to doze off for 20 minutes and the spasms are gone after 3 hours while lying down the whole time. Food and water really seems to calm everything down. The spasms were so great even with my wife massaging my legs and with me breathing.
It may be that i endured this same thing before but while commuting 45 minutes to work every morning about 4 months ago. i definitely remember the pain and i cried most of the way. I think someone somewhere should be making medals for all of us because what we have been through. One thing i remember along the way was that as days progressed I learned that passing gas relieved the spasm. almost like a sensory reaction to something passing through the internal sphincter. at that point i was able to control the spasm for longer periods. eventually, the pain wpuld he minimal. walking helped a lot to increase blood flow to the area.
Believe it or not Anusol HC suppositories were a treat. They contain an anesthetic which numbed the pain for most of the day. However, i dont know if it is a good idea to insert a steroid near the wound as it might affect the long term strength/density of the healed skin.
My wife swears by her Indian remedies and is usually right so i took half a cup of organic mik, tumeric powder and ghee this morning. It's something people in India would take twice a day for healing internal injuries.
I have to be positive and strong. I know I will get through this.
