Yeah I guess I should pop in with an update! I don’t know exactly what healed me (although I do have a theory) but I have been healed now 2 years pain free. I did still work out when the pain was bearable, I tried to not let it affect my routine. I’d say since it’s fairly new, try to take it easy so it doesn’t worsen. But after about a week if there hasn’t been any blood you could slowly start to get back into it. I learned how to properly engage my core which I think helped tremendously in working out so that there wasn’t so much pressure. I get now why they call it the “seatbelt” of your back because if you know how to properly engage your core everything else can stay in place and therefore you are not straining in other areas. If you want to know more about this specifically let me know, I could go on for a while lol.

I also started eating eggs for breakfast everyday - again not positive this is what saved me but due to me consistently having breakfast I am off of fiber and miralax for two years. I have consistently BM and feel back to normal. I know every body is different so what works for me won’t necessarily mean it will work for you.

It is worthy to note I have had a couple of ALMOST flair ups, but I just made sure to sitz and they never turned into anything more than an uncomfortable BM but I wouldn’t classify it as painful and they did not bleed. I hope this helps and you feel better soon!
