aching piles ?? "blush"

[gina p]

:blush: I have a rather achy bum . I do have piles and I've got the hospital on monday to have them looked at as they pop out during a bowel movement to say hello and then hide again . They are very purple tho and it honestly looks like I have a tumor up my bum !! Anyone had them and had them ache ?? They used to bleed but now they just play hide and seek with me !

Yes I have them and had an Operation haemorrhoedectomy last century haha. think they were stapled!! The op. went OK. I was expecting to be sore but I was OK and didn't need the painkillers. Just plenty luke warm baths with salt in to help the healing. Good luck.

and did it feel at times as if they were throbbing even if at other times they were ok ?

Mine get sore sometimes like today because I had an IBS attack this afternoon. I usually put a steroid cream onto them before bedtime to take out some inflammation. I say mine are back but my Doc disagrees and says I have psoriasis??? (shes not a good doctor) I found the Germoloid spray worked best to soothe them. I would have another operation if need be because piles are a pain in the ***. LOL

lol - they certainly are . I get ibs too and I take fybogel for it. Didn't think that would make them achy but it makes sense .

I have external piles but they won't operate on them cos I have Crohn's disease.

They do hurt and ache and I find that the anusol cream helps - now who named it that lol

[gina p]

lol "anusol" - never really paid attention to the name .

Yes, Anusol is good despite the name but the Germoloid spray seemed to help mine.
