I don't know the answer it could be, but that the coffee enema's were helping you was a good sign. They relax the ducts somewhat, not as good as the
Epsom Salts , but at least the ES will make you feel better. In the future when you get the pain again and you want something faster than an enema just drink a glass of water with 1-3 tsp (I do 3) ES in it.
Good luck to-night, believe it or not the flushes are no big deal, it is just that most people are nervous about it the first time. It seems also such a production the 1st time, after a couple of times you get relax about it and you have to remind yourself to keep an eye on the time because you might forget what you are doing.
It is easy for me to say this I have done 47 over 3 years. Oh, don't let me scare you, most people don't do that many :)
