HI you are not alone in feeling this pain. For years I suffered in agony visiting my Gp several countless times. I also tried everything. I was eventually referred to a colorectal surgeon to be assessed. I did have internal and external haemorrhoids, it wasn't these which were causing all the pain, I was told I had fissures also. It was them, pain you could not explain. The prescribed me diltiazem hydrochloride 2% w/w cream, also instillagel numbing gel. Since I have had 3 surgeries as my symptoms reoccurred which isn't always the case. It was childbirth which caused mine. Go back to your Gp and demand a referral and in the meantime if they can prescribe what I stated. Honestly the instillagel helped immensely as before I was sat in constant hot baths to sooth and not wanting to leave the house. Please note we all go through difficulties and pain but there is always someone there to talk to. I found it reassuring after surgery going on this forum to know that I wasn't the only one feeling the way I was. All the very best of luck to you. 

Go for Piles laser surgery

Dude, I know the feeling and we've all been there. You are not alone. The feeling is almost hopeless with no light at there end of the tunnel. But this forum was the glimmer of light for me, knowing that here are so many in the same boat trying to figure out how to get rid Disease. A lot of the advice on this forum is very helpful. In my personal experience, the treatment that helped me the most for the longest amount of time is acupuncture. Find yourself a good acupuncturist and tell them to "clear spleen heat". It takes the swelling and pain away and you will feel relief instantly if they do it correctly. I was originally hesitant because I thought they would have to see/treat "down there", but they don't. Clearing spleen heat is done mostly on your back. It is a temporarily fix until you fix the source if the issue, but one that didn't include drugs and creams on my bum. 

If you are having this issue, there is something wrong with your gut. Either your diet is not healthy, you have an infection or something else causing constant inflammation in your body. If you don't fix this, I would not advise to get surgery because the hems are only symptoms, not the source of the issue.  

Hope you get the treatment that is right for you and praying that we all rid ourselves of this terrible thing. 

So sad to hear this, please hang on in there. There is something that can be done. You can have them ‘banded’ or lasered. If that doesn’t work you can have a hemorriodectomy operation. This isn’t pleasant, I’m not going to lie and will take a good few weeks to recover from, but if you’re suffering so much pain at the moment you might feel it’s worthwhile to be free of them. Hope this is of some help. 

There are many things you have not tried. However, the most important thing is don't stress out. I have found that that makes them fire up. I tried ice and that helped a lot. I bought this thing that you freeze and stick in your butt. What a relief that was. Now they have this ice wedges that don't stick in but go between your cheeks. Also, do a site bath. You can Google that see what it is. It is very helpful when you are at your worst. Make an appt with a Gastroenterologist to have a look and see what remedies that offer. I took the summer to have my hems banded. It was more painful than the Dr told me it would be especially the first one. The second was also bad but I knew what to expect and that was very helpful. Also, mine were banded about 6 weeks apart. Perfect solution. I'm just telling you things I did during my insanity. Aside from Prep H and things you buy are a drug store, online there are many other solutions. I would send you the suppositories I have that I won't use. They come from Jordan and are called Neo-Healar you can search them by that name. Also, if you live in the US, I can send you some boxes I won't be using. I think that foreign countries have better choices than in Walgreens. Also, you can try homeopathic remedies, some work very well. Look up sits baths to be sure you understand time and temperature. You can do them all day on and off. And finally, drink more water and I mean a lot more water. Plus eat a better diet of fiber rich foods. Look for things that have the most fiber. Also, I drink MiraLax every day. Drs orders. Keeps thing flowing. I hope this is helpful. I had hems for about 20+ years and now I don't. There's hope so hang on and see the right Dr. so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

I understand I have that pain now. I been dealing with mines hemorrhoids off and on. This time is worst it's like a pain that I just want to cut them off myself. I brought over the counter stuff it may work for while. But my hemorrhoids hurt after I have a bowel movement and that s**t hurt like hell. Tylenol 3 put me to sleep but 800 mg ibuprofen works great.
