Hi
I am new to posting but have spent many a sleepless night reading posts over the last week. Let me start with a bit of background, I am unsure if I have a fissure or if my hemorroid is causing me pain. I occasionally have a tingling sensation in my anus which causes me slight discomfort however in the evening the pain becomes quite excruciating. I have either a tag or a prolapsed hemorroid, if I continually massage the tag the pain goes but if I don't the pain becomes sharp and a bit like someone is stabbing me. Having a BM doesn't cause me pain but then afterwards I have a throbbing sensation which can last a few minutes then come and go during the day. Ice and heat doesn't help, sitz baths don't work, any creams are also of no use (one application resulted with me screaming in pain, washing it off and then lying on the floor crying). I've tried accupuncture which gives me short term relief but after 2 weeks it wears off.
I have suffered from hemorroid since the birth of my second child 7 years ago, but the recent flare up has had me in pain for 3 months. Does anyone else have experience of this, it is making me so miserable and my 2 children and husband are besides themselves worrying.
Thank you in advance
