Hello, I'm new. I'm 70 yrs. old and been suffering for this is my 9th mo. DR. says an anal ulcer in canal. OK, makes sense to what I am feeling. gave miralax and hydrocortisone supp's. can't tell a great deal of improvement. I think my anger is with medical est. in general. I like the guy, but I have NO DOUBT that on follow up visit and I claim little results, he is gonna pass me off like a BIG FART. I am not confident that he or any physician will take seriously the discomfort I am experiencing. I try desperately to believe. I fear that ultimately they will smile apologetically and say try more sitz baths, hell I can't stay in the tub. Gotta life to live. Moisturizing cream seems to be my only real friend these days, and my wife of course. Can't say the hydro supp's are doing much. I'm on them for a month. I get 1 good day and 2 bad ones. Ready to tear my hair out. I use lidocaine cream also simply as an an attempt to sort of numb the problem. Your comments are helping me realize that I'm not the only 1 with a pain in the ASS. I am desperate to see a DR. that says I'll stick with you and help, not grin with an apology for your pain. Thanks for listening. Glad to be here.
