Hemorrhoids

Has anyone had a hemorrhoid removed? If so, can you recomend the doc you used? I am in tears I've been hurting so much I actually could not get into the car for 15 minutes today - I had to wait and catch my breath.

I use all of the recommended products (I don't have the pillow right now) but this has been on and off for 8 years. I think it may be the culprit to my not sleeping.

My PCP recommended a doc but they may not be able to see me until next week and I don't think I can stand this any longer

Thanks for any suggestions you may have

Re: Hemorrhoids

where are you?

I thought I had roids but it wasn't and I went to a tushie surgeon.

I'm ok and I have a chronic disease that doesn't help it so don't go by my experience.

The doc I went to originally drained an abscess and put me on some meds and then I switched to another doc.

These docs are hard to get into. If you want to go to the city my surgeon was able to take me the same day! I was referred to him by a former colleague of his. I would be happy to give you the names if you want to go to the city.

He's the tushie doctor to the stars..I thought it was really funny when my doc told me that he was the only guy he would show is azz to.

Sorry you are suffering...I was bad too.

I understand you are pregnant, so there isn't much you can use, but have you tried Tucks? Also, a Sitz Bath can be really good at easing the discomfort.

Re: Hemorrhoids

so glad you got in to see someone. Which doc did you see?

I had that too...it healed..a fissure is a cut and it probably got infected and has been festering..mine was too. Thought it was hemmies and that was the least of my worries.

Tushie doc to the stars...could be a reality show!
