OK, so have any you heard of this?? Long story short: my sister, whom is a pharmacist, recommended oragel be applied to my mothers hemorrhoids. My mother passed away on April 29th, I will miss her so much. She had cancer and was on many narcs, so obviously constipation was an issue. When I heard this I about peed my pants. LOL. But at the same time I thought it was an awesome idea. What do you all think??

Been there, done that. It's not much different than using lidocaine gel except it's much more costly and you don't need a script to buy it.

Off topic, but had to share... this nite shifter is up early, cant sleep and have 4 more shifts to go. I totally thought the post read orange for hemorrhoids. I was thinking how unpleasant that'd be and then reread and cracked myself up. I better go to sleep! Ivanna
