There is no treatment other than measures to relieve the pain. Put the ice in a plastic bag and place a towel between the bag of ice and your skin. After the first 1 to 2 days, you may apply heat to the injury to help relieve pain. Lie on your stomach, DO NOT lie on the heating pad. Sitting on a large rubber ring or a cushion may ease the pain.
Some people feel more comfortable sitting on a hard surface.
You may increase your activity as the pain allows. Take stool softeners if bowel movements are painful. Take all medications exactly as directed by your doctor. Your pain becomes worse. Bowel movements cause a lot of discomfort.
