I had one back in October (med I was on gave me diarrhea). Thought I was gonna lose my mind. Terrible pain. I took pain reliever (Tylenol), used Preparation H , and did "sitz baths" (Bath using Epsom salts). At one point had a ice pack on it (picture that). Finally after about 5-6 days is burst. Blood everywhere, but I felt a ton better. Took like 2-3 weeks to heal and finally go away..

Sorry to hear you went through that Conelrad. I have a very low pain threshold which doesnt help.. Used to have flare ups for short time every few years, but now and then get a flare up which comes back after week or so.

Yeah..that's a "pain" when that happens. Fortunately, I've only had that happen, like, twice, so not too bad, but when it happens...wow !
