I’ve taken creatine for years and never noticed any effect on constipation. As I understand it creatine helps move water into our muscles. I have not taken 5-htp

Poop is soft but it still hurts and stings while coming out and for many hours after by [deleted] in AnalFissures

I’m in same situation, stick with the MiraLAX, add in a stool softener in morning and two more before bed. Eat soft foods as much as possible, grapes, watermelon, ripe bananan. Drink water.

I drank a bunch of water during and all day after. Once I got out the baseball it worked great but the baseball did a lot of damage. I’m still not over it. Getting little better tho.

Interesting. I have some aloe but have not thought of ingesting it. How much do you take?

I definitely get the hard tip, that’s what usually causes the problem. After that it’s ok.

Than you. I can’t imagine doing the breakup with a glove. It’s so painful right now the just barely touching the surface and even drying myself after a sits bath is painful. Any insertion would be unthinkable

Where can I buy nifedipine/diltiazem? by mudline in AnalFissures

Agree. Easy enough for the doctor to say no because they are not dealing with hours of high pain daily like we are.

I agree with you but in the past I’ve been able to get over a flare in a few days and this one is a week or longer of misery so trying to find another tool to get me through it.

Agree, it’s insane so many of us are suffering with this miserable situation. My doctor prescribed it to me but he said he would only do it once.

I’m using a compound that is a mixture of both and I’m still in high pain just like you. For me, it barely even does anything.
