Truth be told, I'm already having a hard time sitting down (ok, or
laying down, or standing up.) OUCH. Any secret recipes you'd like to
share? Preferrably ones that don't involve 13 naked virgins dancing
around me at midnight on a moonless night ;-)
I have a cream. It's not really doing much. I don't want surgery now
and end up having to do it all over again in about 14 weeks.



Hemorrhoids? Witch hazel on cotton balls works for me, as does a regular
stool softener (I use colace & benefiber) to avoid the straining which
causes them in the 1st place. I also got a prescription cream from the
doc called Analpram HC that really helped a lot. When I'm in bad shape I
drink coffee, Dunkin' Donuts is magic!


I'm not even constipated, that's the thing. It started last tuesday
after a long "shopping trip" (clothes and books). I think it was the
long periods of standing around and walking.
I'm better today. I got a cream from a doc which... kind of helps, I
think (it's really hard to tell because it does seem to need a few hours
to start working). I also got some milky liquid from my midwife which,
applied to cotton balls/cotton squares cools the area.
Honestly, I've never been in so much pain from Hemorrhoids. Saturday I
wanted to please be in labour instead because it would be a) less
painfull and b) over at some point.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try to get some witch hazel and see if that helps.
