I know it's a pain in the @rse subject, but i've been suffering with piles the past year or so.

Its so bad at the moent that I can barely sit down, and I have to tell colleagues I have a bad back.

I've seen the doc 3 time who's given me cream, suppositories and a stool softener but it's still painful as phook! He said the operation is painful and often ineffective.

Clearly there's nowhere better to get medical advice than on here. Has anyone got any advice on how to deal with piles?

Sensible answers if you can please
