Reply to "Sore anus"

I'm just taking something called Tramadol 50mg and Paracetamol.  When i read about the side effect it states that muscle spasm and trouble urinating is two of them. And they fit my timeperiod. I started using them two days after i got home from the hospital. Day three home i started getting spasms. Like you say, it's like the anus has locked itself in a closed position. I kinda doubt it would be this medication, but I will give it a try. But it's hard when I don't use pain killers...

Oh, ok. That's not what I took. Are you in the U.K? Because I don't think they prescribe Paracetamol in the U.S, where I live, or if they do, it's called something else. The pain will get better. I know it seems hard to believe that now, but it will. Just hang in there. For me, the worst thing was that nervy weird pain down in the spot where the surgery was done, from the nerves regenerating in that area. It was pretty horrible. But it went away after a few months. Now it's been eight years and I feel and function just like I did back when I had a normal colon. You'll get there.

Also, as far as my comment about the Metamucil, since you appear to be in the U.K, I don't know if they have that there. But it's something you definitely need. It's psyllium husk fiber, made from corn husk. I'm sure they probably sell that in the U.K under some brand name. If not, you're going to have to order it online.
