Hi Mikaylar - thank you for your response. I am on a conservative treatment path that includes sitz baths, a compounded ointment, pelvic floor therapy, and so on. Hoping very much to heal it without a surgical intervention. I'm scheduled for a recheck in October. In my case, I was initially misdiagnosed and I think the time lapse is what slowed down my healing. I will add more time w/feet elevated based on your suggestion! Thank you again.

What finally helped me after 2 surgeries and 14 years sitting on a donut was an anti-seizure medication for an unrelated matter. 2 weeks on Topamax and I was better. My pelvic therapist mentioned that she had heard of that. Well, why not mention it to me???

There is a muscle in the rectum called the sphincter muscle. When we get a cut or tear that muscle spasm’s and it’s more painful than most people ever feel. Cyclobenzapr is a life saver. It’s dirt cheap but when I’m in that pain I would sell my home to get it. It is a prescription. God bless!! Diane.
