Hi all,
It all started a few weeks ago... I tried to sort myself out, I'm on a high fibre diet anyway but a back injury a few weeks ago meant I got a bit bunged up with codeine. So I've been taking stool softeners and applying over the counter creams but i couldn't stand the pain anymore so went to the GPs this morning... so I now have stool softeners -like movicol, suppositeries with a steroid in for night time (lucky me) and an ointment which will apparently numb, but I'm waiting for the pharmacy to get it in... Clearly this is a new thing for me and I feel a slight fraud as clearly some peeps on here have had these problems for years...
I have never had pain like it!! Do people eat less when they have them... or stick to certain foods only? My Gp was really sympathetic and told me to go back if it hasn't improved in a few weeks..
Any tips or tricks would be greatly received :D
