I’m in excruciating pain..

Had BM 5 hours ago and pain is not letting up..

Tried hot shower , nitroglycerin suppository, pain meds..

Nothing is working

I had Botox 4 mos ago/ it helped a bit.

My doctor thinks I should have LSE surgery but I’m afraid and can’t take time off from

Any advice is welcome

Thx

    Hi Aimee

    I feel for you like I'm sure so many others here do as well.

    One of the things that worked for me for awhile was an over the counter product called Calmoseptine.  It's an ointment that provides mentholated feeling and kind of overrides the pain.  It's cheap and over the counter.  It's not a cure but may help dull the pain while you're looking for a cure.
