You could try a cotton bud with the cream on the end. The alternative is to try inserting the finger after a hot bath and pushing as if having a BM. I found it helped to use my little finger rather than the preferred index finger. It is worth persevering. For me Rectogesic does give a certain discomfort but its better than the sharp pain.

Sorry to bring back painful memories.
But when you applied the cream did you squeeze on to your finger in a line or like a ring at the top.
I am confused as to how i can get the cream the whole way round the area.
Many thanks

I now use the stem to insert the Rectogesic cream i first cover this with a ky jely then spread the oitment around this.
Hope this may be of some help for you.

Hi Helen, Really hope your feeling much better asi do all of us.I forget to mention if you insert a cotton bud inside the tube to stop any infection.
Also wash the tube in hot soapy water after every use.

Really hope your feeling a lot better yes i had the same problem inserting the cream, because it was to painful to insert the ointment inside myself.
What i did which seemed to help was to put the ointment around the outside of my Anus,this did help to relieve the pain.
Because i felt that i could no longer carry on using the ointment for the rest of my life was admitted to hospital as a day patient.I had a General Anesthetic which i was told would take about 10/15 minutes.
I had a chat with my Consultant to ask what will happen he said he will use Botox which im told is like a Polly Filla to go inside the Fishure for it to heal.
Since my operation im feeling a lot better yes there is a dull ache after ive had a BM
but this is understandable after surgery i guess,im still taking Laxido powder before i go to bed to keep my stools soft. I am due to back at the hospital in 6 weeks time.
It feels odd not using the ointment anymore,but its personal choice to opt for surgery.
Hope this helped you Helen send me a message anytime if i can help you.
