Have you tried bathing in salted water? Boil the water, add salt (one tea spoon per liter water) and sit in a bath tub with your bottom in the water (not too hot). It really helped. I think is called sitz bath.

Just a generic reply here ... 'cos ....BTDT :shock:
Had the whole neoadjuvant chemoradiation ... with BOOSTS !!!!! :twisted:

JMO : oxycodone = great pain med
BUTT ...... there are also inflammation / irritation / possible infection issues which oxycodone will NOT address

(( wish these effin' rad oncs had to have the Tx themselves ...
THEN we would have proper meds to deal with this shit !!! :twisted: ))

You may need to get some local/topical/infused relief from something like
....many names and descriptions like
Proctosone
Proctosedyl

they should contain a local anesthetic, a potent anti-inflammatory, an anti-infective and
a PROTECTANT !!!!!!!! DUH :twisted:

sorry you have to suffer for your docs effin' ignorance

KEEP pushing until YOU HAVE RELIEF

or send them to ... ME :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
AND I will deal with them .....

best wishes bro'
