I've recently been prescribed Lidocaine 5% Anorectal Cream for hemorrhoids, and I've got some questions for anyone who's used it. The side effects list is pretty scary, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any bad experiences with it. Also, how long does it typically take to work? I've got this big event coming up and I'm hoping it'll kick in before then. I've also been wondering if it's safe to use alongside other creams or ointments that I've been using for my hemorrhoids. Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated! Thanks!
