I'm 38 weeks and for the past two days have been in agony. I think I have piles....I have one or two tiny little things protruding (maybe the size of a little fingernail). It feels like I have a razor blade poking out...each step hurts when I walk and sitting down hurts. I have a two-year old DS so can't lie in bed all day.
I'm not in the UK so don't have access to usual medication. I've been using an OTC remedy that is suitable for pregnant women so basically has no active ingredients. Have also resorted to an out of date (2009) cream that has lidocaine and hydrocortisone in. I know it isn't suitable for pregnant women but I'm desperate.
What can I do? I guess a GP can't do anything or offer me anything stronger whilst I'm pregnant so it would be pointless making an appointment and dragging myself to the surgery on public transport. I'm also petrified about giving birth as I guess it will make it worse....there is no way I'll be able to cope with the pain of stitches plus the pain of piles
