So i have had hemmeroids on and off now for months but they have gotten bad in the past few weeks. I mentioned this to my shrink and he mentioned well surgery is a option! Like wtf i do not fucking want surgery down there! My aunt had that surgery done years ago and it was horrible for her. I just bought some preperation h so hopefully this shit actually works. My shrink said the over the counter stuff often doesent work but i remember the last time i had hemmeroids like 20 years ago i bought some and it worked really well.

How likely is surgery though cause i really dont fucking want to have surgery down there. Is my shrink trying to freak me out or what because you had bet my hemmeroid ridden ass im going to be hitting him up for more benzos and zopiclone if this shit dont work.
 
Just gotta stop sitting so much. Buy a hemorrhoid pillow if you are going to sit a lot and they'll probably go away
 
The one time I had them it was from sitting on a hard wood chair too much, so I used two pillows for each buttcheek with nothing in the middle and they eventually went away. It took a week or two I think but can't remember exactly
 
Nope.

They can come from sitting, and “pushing too hard”/constipation. I was always told not to sit on cold rocks as a kid because “you’ll get the piles” lol had no idea what that meant for like 25 years.

I only understand now because my momma has gone through hell with her bowels/hemorrhoids. She’s had surgery.

Witch hazel is like liquid gold for your bum apparently.

Couldn’t help myself.

But for real, my mom has struggled for decades, off snd on. It’s pretty miserable to see someone in that much pain.

She also got a bidet.. one that connects to the toilet (think they’re like 60$). This helps her a lot.. relieves the pressure and pain from.. cleanup.

She’s also had them tied off. This way, the blood flow gets cut off and they fall off..

I don’t think he’s trying to scare you paranoid android. Probably preparing you. ❤️
 
Ya honestly this has been hurting like a motherfucker but the prep h is helping the pain it doesent hurt right now. Thank fuckin jesus. Maybe this will shrink the hemeroids to? I can hope i guess.

How bad was the surgery for her do you know? According to my mom it was pretty bad for my aunt. Mind you this surgery probably took place in the 80's or 90's
 
It wasn’t good dude .. but she managed.

Have you ever heard of “tucks”?
 
She refuses to take any form of pain killer besides Tylenol. She’s had brain surgery twice, and 3 emergency bowel surgeries. And the hemorrhoid surgery. Plus other medical things. She’s one tough woman. She got through it, but it was difficult.
The bidet and witch hazel (tucks pads) are what helped her the most.
 
do you eat a lot of greesy food OP?

the only times i was aware that i had hemorrhoids i was working for a chain pub restaurant, or for wendy's fast food.. just the constant snacking of greesy food is all that would really do that to me... i remember having a bad headache, and being forced to be on anti-psychotics that made me drowsy by a doctor doing a fry shift at wendy's when i also had really bad hemorrhoids. wasn't fun.

fiber supposedly helps some people with hemorrhoids too. only take your recommended daily intake though.

Ya i think im going nay on surgery for now and just hope the preperation h works. So far its taken the itch and pain away anyway. I have not heard of tucks no but i just looked it up and its not a bad idea.

I have the opposite philosophy to meds then your mom has and you had better bet that i will be getting atleast extra morphine for any surgery like that. I get 30mg's a night but if i have surgery i will be demanding more as i do not believe in being in pain unnecessarily.

i was on quetiapine and something else which i no longer remember the name of... i had hemorrhoids when not on anti-psychotics though too... for me i really believe it's just greesy food, and i still eat greesy food sometimes too and don't get them... it's just like if i'm on a line for cooking, i'm gonna snack on random greesy stuff, like at wendy's i'd just constantly sneak chicken nuggets and fries.. doing that stuff all day is the only way i'm really gonna get hemorrhoids, but some people get them easier than others.

Ugh seroquel i hate that one. I doubt antipsychotics have anything to do with it though.

Maybe all the bbq ive been eating all summer has been the cause of it? I do eat alot of chips pan fried with avocado oil but avocado oil isnt supposed to be bad for you like olive and canola oil is. But it still might count as greasy food
 
@paranoid android you and I share the same philosophy ;) what the hell is wrong with that woman and how did I come from her?! lol

I hope it works for you. My momma was also in her late 60s when this happened, with many other health issues. You’re likely to bounce back a lot quicker. Her doctor said hers were the worst he had ever seen. So.. yeah.

Try it out and see what works :)
 
I have had two instances dealing with pretty severe ones. They fucking suck.

Do you have severe constipation from your opioid use, and do you waste a lot of time trying to drop one? If so, I would get some miralax to help with that part of it. I think that's basically what caused mine. Also, don't bother trying to go until you really have to.

Preparation H makes wipes and cream. Definitely get both of those and use them.

These demons should only last a couple days, maybe a week tops. If it's going on longer than that you definitely should go to the doctor.

Also shrinks dont know anything about this type of thing, I wouldn't take that advice very seriously.

I would have been loading up on opiates if i ws her lol. Especially given her age id say she could have gotten oxy ir's anyway.

I just dont like the idea of having surgery down there. Im going to stick with the prepation h for now i think as atleast im not in pain.

I barely get much constipation with my morphine. I am officially on only 30mg's a day unofficially i usually shoot all the morphine in a week or 2 then take a 2 week break so i dont get addicted. I used to be addicted but havent been in about 5 years. I used to get bad constipation years ago but i dont remember ever getting hemmeroids like this so wtf? I was on way higher doses of morphine back then to 150mg's a day.

If i do get constipated now i just take some magnesium capsules with my morning coffee and that gets things moving nicely
 
Is there a cause/causes to this condition?
I guess what I am asking is diet, substance(s), drink or other that may have some influence? Just thinking out loud....
Surgery... yeah I get it I'm not down with it even if it'll add a month to my existence in this form.
I really don't know what to say other than a general practitioner session (obv) but there may be other less extreme/invasive measures that can be a valid option(s). IDK
I do feel for you. Just that I'm not a doc and won't pretend to be.
Whatever the case may be my hopes are that some relief comes to you soon. Like ASAP. ;)

Im not sure. My drug use hasent really changed in years, I smoke weed everyday but i only use morphine about 2 weeks of the month and benzos for 2 or 3 weeks of the month. Im not addicted to either benzos or opiates atm and havent been in about 5 and a half years. I also get 30 zopiclone a month but i have a bad habit of wolfing those fuckers down like candy in about a week. I dont really drink much ill drink beer or rarely liquor maybe a few times a month.

As for my diet it could be better lol. I have a bad habit of drinking fuckloads of dr.pepper or if the store does not have that coke or pepsi. I eat a decent amount of protein like ill habe a protein bar or protein shake everyday just about and eat probably twice a day. That hasent really changed ether.

Some good news though the preperation h is working really well! My ass no longer feels like its on fire lol. Ive only been using it about a day and its already gotten way better. It no longer hurts which is fucking great cause boy did that hurt for awile. It's still a tad itchy ut nowhere near as bad as it was. Thats almost gone to.

This is good news because seeing a doctor where i live is way easier said then done. There is no doctor anywhere near me thats taking new patients. Actually theres really none in this province at the moment that are tsking any patients. I get my rxes from a virtual doc. I could make a appointment to see the nurse practioner up here i guess but she is horrible. I saw her once when my doctor retired before i knew virtual doctors where a thing and she immediatly started saying shit like oh we need to get you off your meds and blah blah blah. So ya that may not be a option either.
