As you know, some pain meds can cause constipation.  A Fleet enema is usually sufficient to deal with the problem, but sometimes a large volume enema (or series of enemas) is necessary.  \n\nMost people find Fleet enemas to be quite tolerable.  They generally cause little or no discomfort.

Hemorrhoid's Cream  When it doubt,let a doctor check it out. If you are having tremendous pain go to ER at\nHospital. It could prostate cancer. You will not know if the ER you don't go. So Go Now . Please !!!

Hell no! Don't even use enemas.There are other ways to detox but there is no hardcore reliable scientific proof that detoxing even helps anyone.Do alot of research into whatever method of detoxing you use.I have heard henna(if I spelled it correctly) tea works really well but you will be cramping and having bowel movemnets ALL weekend.Yeah...that's the bulk of a detoxing regiment.Lots of time sitting on the bowl! Don't bother fasting either.You'll watch muscle waste away then.

yes it is embarassing to talk about, but the same thing happened to me\nif you don't have enough fiber or protein in your everyday diet \nyour stool becomes hard and will not give as it natuarlly does when passing the anus. if it is a little tender that is what happened. I would not recommend going to a dr right away they just make it more painful give it 1 or 2 days, if the blood doesn't go away or if the pain increases go in right away(could also have something to do with your period or any sexual activity you may have had)

My wife had anal fissure after giving birth. It was hurting so bad we thought it might be hemorroids or anal fissure. So we went to the doctor who confirmed it was anal fissure (inside). Then, she underwent a local small unpainful 10-minute operation with infra-red (I think it was) after which she was totally cured. It was hurting less and less for about ten days after the operation, but now she's pefectly ok. The small operation cost us about $475. It was worth it!! I suggest you do the same, because I think that medicines are temporarily effective if at all. Good luck.

Enemas function to cleanse the body and empty the bowels.  They are not always used solely for constipation. \n\nWomen in childbirth are often given enemas to empty the bowels prior to childbirth.  This makes childbirth safer and cleaner for the baby.  More importantly, it hastens childbirth and eases labor pains.  In fact, enemas may be given more than once during childbirth, especially if the contractions start.  An enema, properly given, will help the contractions to start again.\n\nSome cultures believe that newlyweds should spend their *honeymoons* giving each other enemas.  This give them a new found intimacy not even found in sex.\n\nMany medical procedures require using enemas to empty the bowels.  This eliminates the chance of involuntary expulsion of the contents of the bowels during the procedure.\n\nIn the *old* days people believed that regular/weekly enemas helped to remove bacteria and illness from the body.  Many people today still adhere to this belief, but no one talks about it.  \n\nIn today's world few people own enema bags anymore.  There are many products on the market available for *instant* enemas.  These products all contain minerals, etc. that encourage evacuation of the bowels.  In the old days, most people just gave enemas of water, although sometimes they would give enemas of soap suds, or added minerals to the water.  Although a water enema is uncomfortable as you must hold the water for a certain length of time for the enema to work, adding soap suds or minerals to the water could be painful.  \n\nAll types of enemas work best when held for at least 10 minutes.  Water enemas can be repeated if expelled too quickly.

This site has testimonials from peope trying various treatments:  http://www.boardsailor.com/jack/af/\nAn acute fissure is managed with non-operative treatments and over 90% will heal without surgery. Bowel habits are improved with a high fiber diet, bulking agents (fiber supplements), stool softeners, and plenty of fluids to avoid constipation and promote the passage of soft stools. Warm baths for 10-20 minutes several times each day are soothing and promote relaxation of the anal muscles. Occasionally, special medicated creams may be recommended. \nA chronic fissure (lasting greater than one month) may require additional treatment. Depending on the appearance of the fissure, other medical problems such as inflammatory bowel disease or infections may be considered and testing may be recommended. A manometry test may be performed to determine if anal sphincter pressures are high. An examination under anesthesia may be recommended to determine if a definite reason exists for lack of healing. \nhttp://www.fascrs.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=3\nTreatment of anal fissures is divided into medical and surgical groups. Medical treatment of acute fissures is based upon topical creams, sitz baths, perirectal hygiene and dietary changes consisting of increasing fiber content. \n\nWhen patients continue to experience symptoms for longer periods of times, surgical intervention is considered. Surgical intervention is best directed at chronic fissures. A lateral internal sphincterotomy is usually utilized. However, the surgeon may wish to proceed with an internal sphincterotomy or manual dilation depending upon the clinical situation. http://www.gastromd.com/education/treatmentanalfissures.html

I have found that good old Noxema, in the blue tub has amazing anesthesia effects.  Have used it on HSV outbreaks as well as the old 'roids, with very satisfactory results.  Was given that hint by another customer in a store.

I had mine out 5 years ago when I was 16.  It didn't hurt because they gave me liquid codeine and I was taking that every 4 hours or maybe it was 6...anyway that worked really well.  I even had to go to the emergency room that night because my throat was bleeding into my stomach and I was puking up a lot of blood so they had to go in with some silver nitrate to close up the spots that were bleeding.  With the pain medicine I had the puking didn't even hurt so I'm sure you'll be fine. :)\n\nOh and I didn't eat ice cream at all...Jello and popsicles are where it's at...when I tried to eat ice cream it burned my throat and for whatever reason made me a bit sick to my stomach...could have been the pain medicine though

I have had fibro for twenty years now and I can tell you from my personal experience, pain medications do not work. I have tried everything up to Fentynl patches with Actiq suckers. The amount of pain medication that I require is too toxic to my system. After being on pain meds my liver function was consistent with Hepatitis induced from drugs, I had Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, rotting teeth, and terrible bowel problems from the pain meds shutting down my gut. I awoke one day with paramedics looking over me with my husband. I had come out of a seizure (which I'd never had before) and a temp of 107.5. Scary. Moral of the story, pain medication is not effective in Fibro pain treatment because if increasing resistance to the medication it builds up to toxic levels. You are really better off taking a good muscle relaxant (I am on Zanaflex)\n\nAs far as insomnia, first have a Sleep Study performed. Mine was ordered by a Neurologist This will tell you what is happening when and if you sleep. For instance I found out that I had three types of insomnia: chronic, initial (can't fall asleep), and maintenance can't stay asleep). I also get no REM sleep which explains the extreme fatigue. You can then work with your doctor to address your problems. \n\nThe fibro fog can be from medication side effects &/or the bodies concentration on the pain signals it is constantly receiving. I believe the fog is a combination of both and it is genuine. Sometimes I can't find words to say that I speak all the time. Or I forget things a lot. My computer calendar has helped tremendously. A study was performed to explain why we feel so much pain. You can find it at http://www.fibrohugs.com/article.php?story=20040301120311535\nThe increased pain response kicks our bodies into the "fight or flight response". Medscape explains that pain alerts the central nervous system to the presence of a major stressor to the body; one that demands a response. Pain experiences are typically accompanied by systemic responses similar to those that characterize the "fight or flight" dynamic. These responses are caused by the involuntary release of norepinephrine and adrenaline, which causes increased mental alertness, muscle tone, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. Facilitated clotting factor, shunting of blood from the viscera to skeletal muscles, increased visual acuity, and sweating also occur when catecholamines are released. The "flight or fight" response, although clearly beneficial to the endangered organism, can be a threat to the individual with chronic pain. Further, the level of high acuity and anxiety commonly associated with the "flight or fight" response is often caused by the anticipation of a painful event rather than the actual "experience" of one.\n\nTry taking warm baths in Epson Salt. It contains Magnesium Magnesium allows oxygen into your muscles, reducing cramping and spasms. Consult your doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful. If you have a low level, which most people with Fibro do have, take Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements. There are a few studies listed below that explain the rationale of using the combination in treatment of Fibro. \n\nTry eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". \n\nIf you need adjustments try to see a D.O. that is familiar with Firbro instead of a chiropractor. In my opinion Chiropractors tend to be a little more violent in their adjustments and can cause more pain in your soft tissue. D.O.s do a more passive adjustment.\n\nBefore you exercise make sure you really stretch out and breathe de

OH MY GOD\n\nthose bring back possibly the worst short term pain memories of my life. I had the same problem. Two severe herniated discs. I went through a year of physical therapy, swimming, strong back muscles, no activity, lots of activity, braces, pills, basically anything you can think of. \n\nI went to the doctor at one point and said that I have two options. Surgery or epidural steroid injections. I took the ESI like anybody would and it was done in a rush after they got the doctor who performed this right before he left to go home. I dont know if this was normal but they only put 3 numbing needles. Then I easily went through the worst pain of my life. The needles into the epidural space are just immensly, undescribably painful. I was put in a wheelchair afterwards and then they said it will get better worse before it gets better. After 2 or 3 days it did get better to some extent, I could walk longer, stand longer, etc. In the end, the ESI did not work for me. They only served as an immense surge of pain. \n\n\nSince your husband already has 4 discs herniated, I would go for surgery. It is painless, quick, just so much better. I would much rather live a full life rather than a half life filled with steroid injections

You can do a far better job yourself!!! You know your body far better than anyone else!!! Do a Castor oil cleansing....See Sources for explicit details. Obtain a Fleet Bagenema set it is large volume and holds 1500ML. Relax and take in the whole 1500ML each time(Ask at Osco pharmacy - they will order you one - Cost is between five to ten dollars) and take tap water enemas (or distilled water)until what comes out is clear!!! Be sure to use warm water and to add a teaspoon or two of table salt to each enema to cut down on absorption. After a few 1500ML enemas it is possible to take 3000ML don't rush doing this though you will have to work up to this. After a good clean out like this it is good to eat yogurt to put a good flora in your bowel. I added yogurt to my regular diet to maintain a healthy flora. I do this procedure once a month with great benefit to my health. Feel free to write to my email with any questions. Relax - Do not be afraid!! Good Health to You!!!

Doubt it very much!, your body is just relaxed into a state which it needs to kick into gear & get moving again, unless you are talkin' about pain in your rectum then seek medical advice this could be even more serious than just hemmroids.
