Reply to "Unfamiliar complaints"

Thanks Scott - I was able to catch your last message when I woke up this morning, so I tried a more gentle push (as little pressure as I could manage) to see if it would help.  Unfortunately, not much of a change in output. Basically was a quick empty and then that 'hard stop' again, where I can basically tell that nothing else is going to happen.  The only positive is that I don't have as much pain/pressure, as I didn't sit and strain for an extended period of time.

I'll keep this in mind, and continue to try to see if it helps.  At this point, I think its fair to say that something is holding up good flow, whether its a prolapse, stricture or otherwise.  In the past, I've been very lucky to have any sort of issues sort themselves out, but this one doesn't seem to be going that way.

How long can I conceivably go on like this, without causing any damage, etc?  If I'm still eating/drinking, and not everything is makes its way, the excess has to be somewhere - will I be risking a perforation or something while I wait for my appointment?   I'm not one to panic, and usually have a high tolerance of discomfort, but this is starting to wear on me, as I really have only been able to get through a day at work and then I'm home laying down, resting (and praying). 

Any food/drink or OTC meds I should or shouldn't try while I wait?  I have searched "prolapse" and "stricture" a bunch - I dont' seem to recall anything can be taken that I wouldn't need to see a doctor.

Thanks in advance - stay cool!
