Curist 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream - 6 oz (170 g) XL Tube - Soothing Numbing Cream for Temporary Discomfort, Itching, and Burning from Hemorrhoids Lidocaine 5% (1 Pack - 6 oz Tube)

I get this 5% lidocaine cream on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Curist-Lidocaine-Maximum-Strength-Topical/dp/B09DN7GR14 It's not a miracle but it sometimes takes the edge off. I'm also glued to a heat pad. I have one that goes over the shoulders. I'm getting an ice machine for surgery next month but right now heat feels better. And I'm trying to do everything I can left-handed which is a lot harder than it sounds. Good luck with your surgery.
