I wish I had great information but here are all the things I did to help with the pain -
- prescription strength steroid cream I got from my doctor
- a lot of warm baths
- rested in bed with my feet elevated above my head to relieve pressure
- stayed off my feet a lot
-I use Calmoseptine regularly
Also did you go to the doctor? If it's a fistula then it will need medical attention also if its a size-able hemorrhoid it will as well.
I went in for fistula surgery and when they went in there they were unable to find the opening of the fistula so they didn't do anything. My issues has calmed down for right now but they said it could recur and if it does I need to go back to them immediately etc.
I hope you are feeling better soon - I know it is very painful - I was miserable when it was in full flair up.
