Help! Incredibly painful piles

[FlyLikeABird]

So had them on and off for years but in the last few days they have flared up and excruciatingly painful. I can barely walk I'm 34 weeks pregnant and can't imagine pushing a baby out in this state

So I've been using Anusol HC, moist toilet wipes, Sudocrem and paracetamol when I can't sleep. What else can I try? The pain is making me feel sick and I'm struggling to lift my toddler.

Arrrgh, this pregnancy has been a doddle so far, I feel like my body's playing a cruel joke on me for being complacent

How horrible. I think if you've tried all the over the counter stuff and they're still so painful then I'd see the GP. They've probably got something that can reduce the inflammation better than OTC stuff. Hope you get some relief from them asap. Utterly miserable.
