Hello all. I am really pleased to find a dedicated forum with such nice folk across the world sharing details and offering helpful and practical support.
I have been suffering for about 8 weeks now - for the first six I assumed I had haemorrhoids but with the hours of pain after each BM and no improvement went to the doctor. So here I am with AF - following orders - using the ointment, drinking plenty & taking fibre supplements.
Like a lot of you I have bad and not so bad days with a daily cycle of pain & soreness following each BM. The worrying thing is I have not 'bounced back' and seen a quick improvement so it could be I have this put up with this for a long time and something possibly for life.
So has a newbie, I have lots of questions and in turn hope I can be of some use with helping others!
