Possibly hereditary Raynaud's phenomenon treatment?
I don't know what the official stance is on this, but my mother has Raynaud’s phenomenon, my grandfather had it and his brother as well, and I have just been diagnosed with Raynaud’s phenomenon as well. So it must be something hereditary. Is there any other treatment that I should take...

12 days post-op and still straining during bowel movements. Will I ever not have to strain?
