Hello All,
I was watching T.V. and a hemorrhoid commercial came on. It started listing all of the ingredients in the cream and stated that they included lidocaine to relieve itching and pain.
When I heard that I immediately thought, Why don't our doctors prescribe lidocaine ointment (not hemorrhoid cream) to those of us with LS for the itching and pain?
I don't have a doctors appointment for another 6 months, can someone who has an upcoming doctors appointment please ask if lidocaine ointment (not hemorrhoid cream) would be something that someone with LS could use to alleviate the itch and pain. There are so many that can't sit or scratch until they bleed, maybe this could help.
Thanks!
Ann

I have used over the counter Vagisil cream which has anaesthetic properties for soreness and itching it does help. My GP didn't know about it but was interested. I don't use it much now as I have the itch and soreness mostly under control. Hope this helps.

Hi all.
Went to my GP and asked about Lidocaine as promised.
That was a wasted visit. Was told to wait till I see my Consultant. So there you have it. Why are so many Drs in the dark where LS & LP concerened. I gained all my knowledge from forums like this.
