Please help. I'm in lots of pain right now well since yesterday. I couldn't sleep and I can hardly sit and will be on a 18 hour flight with my 18 month old tonight. Is there some kind of pain relief I can get. I sat in a warm bath last night for 15 minutes, it did relieve some pain but once I got out it still hurts. BTW I'm 7 months pregnant. I'm going to my doc today to check if I'm fit to fly and get a letter. Should I tell her? I'm worried she won't give me the letter because I'm in a lot of pain. TIA

You could buy haemmohoid relief cream over the counter in any pharmacy (eg preparation H, anusol etc). The doctor won't stop you flying becasue of piles as it is not affecting the health of you baby or yourself that it would cause you to go into labour which is all the airlines are interested in when the request a fit to fly letter. Your docotr may be ableot give you prescription for a stronger prepatation for the piles.
