Hello, I'm new to the forum and need your advice. I have been having pain since mid April & it has escalated to severe in the last three weeks. It is so bad that it is zapping me of energy & I am super tired.
Long story short - I had rectal pain& a hemorrhoid during pregnancy 10 yrs ago. I have had occasional pain/bleeding but it usually clears up quickly. This round has been unrelenting. I can't get in to see the
GI doc until July 6th for a scheduled colonoscopy. I broke down yesterday & went to a walk in clinic & he took a look and said I had a hem rood with a cut/fissure on top. He prescribed hydrocortisone suppositories 3X a day and gave me lidocaine ointment. I had been taking protofoam and prior to that the same suppository with out any relief.
I feel like the suppository aggravates the pain & the lidocaine ointment does nothing.
The worst part is that I am suppose to fly to Barcelona for a Euopre Cruise next Tuesday & I don't want to go. The hubs doesn't understand any ideas for a quick fix? I need to be better for the loooonnngnggg flight !
