Hi all,
First I want to thank everyone on this site. I have gotten invaluable information.
I had takedown 4 weeks ago and I have to say I think I am doing great. I went back to work after 2 weeks and did fine. My boss insisted I take a nap in his office everyday when he went out to lunch. How great is he?! The issues I have is the butt burn, which I am trying to manage with Calmoseptine, zinc oxide, ilex, bidet, and hydrocortisone. I wear a pad everyday to protect my underwear from the ointments and just in case I get a leak. How long will this last?
Also, when I left the hospital I was on augmentim twice a day. I stopped it after a week and then I started to get a fever and some cramps. My doc put me back on and I felt better after one dose. I also had to go for an office visit to be dilated. I was unable to empty and my doctor had me come in right away. After he dilated me with his pinky I immediately felt better. I asked him about self dilation and he said he has zero of his patients do that. What if I was away and this happened? Or what if I couldn't get in touch with him or he was away? There is no way I would be able to function without getting dilated.
I was feeling great again so I started taking the augmentim only once a day. I have been having cramping again. Do I need to take the antibiotic forever? Do you think it has anything to do with that? Or just a coincidence?
Thanks for all your comments.
