Lisa007 - Pardon me for jumping in here, but this may be helpful. I'll defer to GM if he thinks otherwise. I think the Calc Phos excellent too - for the overall aftereffects & need to rebuild. Below is directed to the piles condition you described so "painfully". Fissure. Operation. Ouch!

Not sure which country you're in, but in UK Nelson's make a haemorrhoid cream that is very effective & gives rapid pain relief - consists of

Aesculus, Calendula, Hamamelis, Paeonia

If in the States, you may find Boiron has similar.

Internally:

a compound remedy of...
Arnica, Hamamelis, Aesculus, Nux Vom

if 6-12c = 2 hrly on first das then 5 times day for a week or until improvement begins (in which case cease & observe)

if 30c (tops) = 3 times a day for 3 days or until... etc...


I've used the above many times with success.

very best
