I didn't have any luck with OTC pain relievers, either, though some do. You will have to have a prescription for either of the two creams. They take from a week to two weeks to work. They have a 67% healing rate, but even if you don't heal as a result of using them, they should lower your pain substantially, and help you have more good days. If you are already aware that your entire anal canal is too tight, then they should definitely help with that.
