Ok went to the bathroom this am and there was blood on the stool. Also when I wiped. I have a vague pain back there. I have been using steroid suppositories They must not be working. Its not all the time. Anyone else no of any remedies!!!! It hurts!!!!
 
I agree with Nica, baths will help some, and Prep H will provide you some relief too. Also if you use baby wipes, or the flushable wet wipes (Kleenex, Charmin, etc make them) instead of toilet paper, I know that helps me too. Oh and Prep H actually makes wipes now too. Those would probably be ideal.

Good luck.
 
I've tried multiple things, including those donut pillows, prep H, and moist wipes, and none of those seemed to help my hemmie. Baths give temporary relief that end the next time you use the toilet. The only things that gave me somewhat lasting relief were the vitamin E trick (take a gel capsule of vitamin E, poke one end with a pin, and squeeze the gel out onto your hemmie), and calmoseptine which was cooling and lovely although I don't think it actually helped to heal or shrink th ehemmie. Other than that, I just had to wait for my hemmie to stop hurting and to shrink. Good luck, I hope you get some relief soon. Hemmies suck!
 
I use baby wipes every time I use the restroom (even carry them in my purse!) I also got a script for analpram and it works 100 times better then prep h. And I've found that baths help. Good luck!
 
when I was in the hospital I asked for some Lidicane jelly ( pain killer and numbing) and they gave me some. Its awesome! I don't need it now but when it was bad.. awful excruciating I would apply it and then it didn't hurt when I went or sat down.. it doesn't make them better but I have found nothing really does anyways.. having you flare slow down is the only thing that helps mine
