Soak in a sitz bath.

Tylenol.

It will get better I promise.

I agree with anxiousmom about the sitz bath and painkillers. Perhaps advil may give you a bit better releif though than tylenol.

[chellybeans]

you aren't supposed to take advil during pregnancy.  it can be a blood thinner.

tylenol is okay though

She isn't pregnant anymore.  Advil is fine.

hemroids?  i finally just got over them from my first trimester.  try tucks pads if you think that is what it could be.  and yes i did still have extreme pain even with loose stools.  when you get the pain get in a warm bath and see if it goes away, like the other lady said.  it always worked for me...as long as i was in the bath.  as soon as i got out it hurt again.  hope you feel better.
