Hemorrhoids and Back Pain - Advice please

This site always gives good advice.  This has not been the best two weeks.  Started with a flare up of pouchitis which my doctor added a second antibiotic to my regime of 2x/day Cipro.  Seemed to calm it down but made me too sick and nauseous so I stopped.  The stomach is doing a bit better so the bathroom trips are more normal but in it's place I've got terrible hemorrhoids and back pain!  When I went to see the doctor for the pouchitis, he had his resident examine me and she noted it was a skin tag - I think she may be wrong.  My doctor never even examined me which has me kind of frustrated.  It got worse after the visit.  I am now about four days in with terrible hemorrhoid / skin tag? pain and back pain at night.  I can barely walk around.  They just started me on Anusol HC?  Anybody had luck with that?  Will this resolve over time?

I welcome thoughts/suggestions.  I am very scared of the thought of hemorrhoid surgery since I hear it is horribly painful and I can't take pain meds etc.  Are there other options?

Thanks
