Sorry to ask butt,,

My hind end isn't feeling much better 3 days after the biopsy. It's more than just an inconvenience, I can hardly sit. When I do get sitting I don't want to get up after it calms down a bit. Anyone know of a way to make it feel better without narcotics? I was thinking about a bath with epsom salts but the pain is deeper than a bath will get to. Can't take aspirin or ibuprofen. It does feel better than it did the 1st night. Felt like somebody kicked me in the nads the day I was stripped of my dignity.

How long does this pain in the arse last?


Thanks, Barry

Andrew,

You have been great with all your responses. Thank You. Compared to what you have been through I feel like a wuss for asking the question about my hind end.

You take care my healingwell friend.

I was thinking a bath as warm as you can stand it but then thinking about how many days it has been you might want to call your doctor. Have you taken your temp to see if you have a fever too?

I am probably just cautious because Paul got a bad infection after the procedure and then didn't get it checked until he was looking (and feeling) like death warmed over. He waited WAY too long.

He's a lot better now but that really took so much out of him, he is just getting around to being more himself these last couple days and his biopsy was May 8th....

So please, call. Don't wait. Nobody will think you are a woos there.

Hope you get some relief and the pain subsides soon.

I also hope the biopsies are negative!!

After you get checked out by your doctor re possible infection, you might try ice packs. I had a lot of discomfort at the end of radiation treatment, and the ice packs really helped (just make sure you don't get frostbite!)
