Hey all,
I managed to shake it off for about 8 months after suffering for god knows how many years, but after starting a new job i got very anxious and bang it returned it tore again blood and pain. I worked hard for last 2 weeks to kind of shake it off but it has started to hurt again in the last 2 days but there is no blood and the pain isnt as bad but just very sore and itchy. Im just not sure whats going on have i reinjured it again or just irritated it? its so hard can i get an instruction manual with my arse :roll:

Awww I understand SKip!! Hey, have u tried using vaseline before a bm? I found that a life saver as it helped ease out our bm! Also, it's a must to use a stool softner...Movicol/Miralax
Are you using any other creams? Diltiazem after a while gives u that itch! But, as soon as u stop using it the itch goes away...Thankfully!!

Hi thanks for reply,
I do use vaseline it definately helps I also use lactulose is this different from Movicol/Miralax?
I am using Diltiazem, but do the benefits outway the itch? decisions
but do you think because its not bleeding I havent totally reinjured just agrivated or am I being optimistic?
Thanks again

Lactulose is quite different to movicol - most of seem to get better results with movicol.
Diltiazem gave me the itch from hell too. Have you tried nitro? It gives headaches, but doesn't seem to irritate as much as diltiazem.
