I was in such agony for weeks, there were days I could barely function and had to leave work early....I would literally cry from the pain and lack of hope...tried multiple H creams, Cortisol, Medicated Pads, and even resorted to narcotic pain killers when it lasted for hours. Finally gave in and went to the RGS, and I told him I wanted to exhaust other options before resorting to surgery.
He prescribed Diltiazem/Beth/Lido from a Compound pharmacy - and the first time I tried it, the relief was almost instant. Flash forward 3 weeks and the bleeding has ended, I am virtually pain-free, and I have my life back. All I know is it's been a godsend and worked for me like nothing else. Trust me, if nothing else seems to be helping or the pain is unbearable, don't waste your time trying to manage on your own...get to a Doctor and tell him you want/need this prescription....
