I got an AF at the start of May due to constipation, was doing the JuicePlus diet which severely lacks fibre and I blame this. The pain initially was intense for a week, no sleep and I eventually took myself to see the Doc, he could hardly peek up there as it was so tight and sore but he said it was an AF. He prescribed GTN and Fybrogel which I have been taking since. The pain has lowered but it is still constantly in my thoughts as it is not comfortable. I generally have a BM in the morning and this starts the onset of pain throughout the day, I work 9-5 so have to sit and bear it, usually I get home and take a bath which helps ease it a bit. I try and exercise and go to the gym when the pain is not too bad. I have just ordered some Manuka Honey and Coconut oil after reading it helped some on here, I am also thinking of sudocrem as well (any thoughts ???). I am due to go on holiday shortly to the States and I know this is going to be a pain in the ass (literally) as I wont be able to enjoy fully. If anyone has any other suggestions that could help it would be appreciated. I would like to be in less pain when walking around Disney world !!
Many thanks
