Rectal pain

Hi everyone,

I’ve posted before about this... I’m having a total nightmare with rectal pain/symptoms which just don’t seem to be budging. I had my baby daughter by elective c section 13 weeks ago and for the past 11/12 weeks I’ve been experiencing pain when passing a bm that feels sharp and like glass cutting me and then afterwards it will throb and hurt to sit down etc. It’s driving me insane. My ibd nurse and doctor say it’s a fissure or hemorrhoid but no one has actually examined me and I’ve got a whole bunch of otc treatments for these but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks! I have some steroid enemas... maybe I could use those? Unfortunately both my dr and ibd nurse are being useless

Thanks q. Yep it’s driving me insane how rubbish they’re being. Think it’s due to COVID. Just telling me to buy meds from chemist but I don’t even know exactly what the problem is

I’ve tried anusol cream (not sure if you have that in us) and also diltiazem cream. Also just got lidocaine gel.
