At one time president Carter had problems with his hemorrhoids. A very painful bout too.
He was about to give a major speech. He walked slowly and painfully up to the microphone. Cleared his throat and began his speech discussing his new proposal Preparation I

Ass Wand is what you seek.
Choose one with a good throttle. I got used to the refreshing cool water, blasting my nether regions squeaky clean. There are various Ass Wands on Amazon, it's just a click away..... |

The last roid I had I cured with over the counter roid cream. Gone in a day. I think it was even the cheap Walmart variety. Wouldn't hurt to try if you haven't already.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Witch hazel Witch hazel is a wildly popular home treatment for hemorrhoids. It is an astringent, which is one of the main properties that makes it ideal for treating hemorrhoids. Witch hazel’s astringent properties reduce the swelling in hemorrhoid tissue, which causes shrinkage and relief of associated pain and itching. Furthermore, substances called tannins present in witch hazel also have anti-inflammatory properties, which further reduces swelling. It’s okay to use witch hazel directly on hemorrhoids by adding a small amount to a cotton ball and gently wiping the affected area several times a day, especially after a bowel movement. Witch hazel should not be diluted with alcohol, as this can dry out and irritate the hemorrhoid even more. if its irritated already I don't suggest using it. but up to you. I tried and it lit my asshole on fire. if you wait till its really painful to take the pain pills. break one in half and chew it. if not strong enough eat the other half. breaks the time release. you get more at once, but will wear off faster. be careful with the really strong meds. |

I had the surgery 30 years ago when I was 30.
I had the most possible 3 of the 4 quadrants operated on. They won't do all 4 as too much scar tissue violates your flexibility to pass large turds. I remember it as extremely painful, but looking back it's been successful. I'm glad I made that decision. |

It's not the removal that hurts, it's the shitting 2-3 days afterwards, it's like shitting hot razor blades. Good Luck man, and don't be afraid to take the pain pills BEFORE the pain!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Used to work with a guy. Saw him pull an absessed molar with a pair of pliers, in the shop, because he hated dentists. He had roid surgery. After recovery, he said it was by far the worst pain he ever felt. I'm a little concerned. All I can say is that not being able to relive the actual pain in your mind is a godsend. ETA: Sounds like you're on the road to surgery. Buckle up. Seriously, though, having gone through it myself, I wish you well. It's no fun, but in the end you'll be glad you suffered through it.I would avoid opioids, and the constipation they can cause. Try 800 mg of Ibuprofen every 6 hours. Not great for the liver, but OK for a week. Try not to drink alcohol while taking it. |

OP, I'll to try to settle your nerves a bit. It was no picnic, but it was far from the "worst pain I've ever felt" as a lot of posters here claimed to have experienced. Is it fun? No, but not unbearable by any means. Honestly the worst part of the whole ordeal was the local injection on an inflamed roid. I probably could have lessened it substantially if I waited until it wasn't on fire. Maybe soaked it or used whatever remedies have been recommended here by others, before it was cut out.
Recovery is lousy but again, not that horrible as long as you use the pain meds they prescribe. They didn't even give me anything crazy, just tramadal and it worked fine. I would recommend what another poster mentioned, have the prescribed pain meds at the ready. I didn't and would have literally run to the pharmacy after the local wore off, if I didn't have a car to drive there. Another positive note, there's a good chance it won't return after surgery because of the scar tissue, one and done. Mine was over ten years ago and nothing since. As to the severity of mine, it was the size of a large gumball. The prime care physician who looked at it said "I'm taking it out now, or you're going to the ER today to have them do it." I think he was being a bit dramatic. Looking back, I would have soaked it for a few days to get the inflammation down, before getting that local. Bleeding didn't stop for over a week after surgery so don't let that freak you out. |

any type of dry grain fruit bar or snack bar , just kills me.. makes me feel like I shit a pinecone backwards.
I use witch hazel to pad them after I shit, or if I am hurting. cold water does help some, keeping them exceptionally clean and dry is best. eat foods that make you close to runny stool and dont strain when going. shingles in the eye.. Holy Hell, I had them in my side and I was finding religion.. ALMOST |

Holy Hell, I had them in my side and I was finding religion.. ALMOST I've had them in my eye since I was a kid. This was the first time on the cornea. Whole nuther ballgame. Not exaggerating, it felt like pepper spray soaked sand in my eye for a week. It was all consuming, counting the minutes type of pain. My diet has been about 1/4 cup of oats, a few prunes and figs per day since Friday. Lots of water, fiber, and MoMagnesia. I'm starving but I needed to drop a couple pounds, anyway.

Aw, damn, man, I feel your pain (literally), I just had surgery on mine last week. It's the 2nd worse pain I've ever felt. My kidney stone last year was significantly worse, so I guess that's a positive, LOL.
Look at it this way, OP - it hurts like holy hell right now, correct? It's going to hurt like unholier hell after surgery, but it still won't be as bad as a kidney stone. However, once you heal up from the surgery, your ass (literally) will get a new lease on life, and you might just wind up pain-free (at least as far as your ass goes). As bad as that journey may be, that should be well worth the trip to get to someplace that doesn't suck, I would think. (at least this is the story I'm telling myself as I am recovering from surgery). |

Best of luck Ridge. My ex had to have surgery for hers, she wasn't any fun to be around during recovery. I actually took my handguns out of the house because she was talking crazy suicidal talk while sitting in a sitz bath about every hour. She had a very low pain threshold though, I bet you can deal with it just fine.

And I'm like "so what you are trying to distract me from hearing, is it's going to hurt worse than it does now, and it's already un-f'ing believable, second only to having kidney stones horrific..." I'm on like day 5 of post-surgery recover, and it's no longer like a hot poker in my ass 24/7, now it's like a constant sharp dull pain (if that makes any sense) that only feels like barbed wire being pulled through my rectum if I fart, cough, laugh, move wrong, etc. So I'm cautiously optimistic for the future. |

I recently had a small blueberry sized one that grew to the size of a grape. It hurt to walk for a few weeks. Initially tried to use OTC stuff with no relief as it got worse.
Scheduled an exam (2 week wait) and it had already shrunk by the time I went to see the doc. He mentioned some stuff about anal tearing because of constipation and I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy next month. So far I've been prescribed nitroglycerin and told to eat prebiotics and fiber. I've been trying to eat a little healthier, but hard to diet properly. |

Try this. You can buy it on Amazon. It really helped me big time after taking for about 5 days. The brand is Omniven 500 The ingredient that fixes your ass is diosmin. It was recommended to me for a different circulation issue and helped my ass. Look it up. It’s $20 we’ll spent. Please report back. |
