In week three after the final bit of the pouch advancement. Was feeling pretty cheerful as my output has thickened up considerably (I am able to walk around the tiny block my house is on without messing myself!!!), I'm eating a bit more, and the pain & swelling was WAY down.

Now, suddenly, the pain & swelling are back. Blisters again, and everything right around the anus is swollen and sore. Going to the bathroom hurts like %$#@! Eeker Is this because I'm no longer just "drooling" out the stool and my muscles actually have to work a bit?

I go to see the surgeon on Tuesday and oh, boy do I have a LOT of questions for him....

My Poor Gin,
So sorry...I know what progress-hope-deception feels like...Can you get Aloe Vera gel with local Lydocaine over there? It really helps a lot to cool the zone and reduce some of the painfulness...
Yes, once things start being used they start to hurt so go back to your sitz baths and squirt bottles on the bottom whenever you go and keep the area cool and clean at all times...
Have you tried an ice pack on your bottom?
Keep up the walking and get better soon.
hugs
Sharon
