PAIN IN THA REAR!!!
OK I AM 13 DAYS POST-OP AND HAVE BEEN DOING VERY VERY WELL. HOWEVER, 2 DAYS AGO I GOT A HEMORRHOID AND NOTHING SEEMS TO GET THE SWELLING/PRESSURE DOWN. I HAVE INCREASED FLUIDS ETC. BUT JUST WANDERED HOW MANY VETS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. I HAVE HAD THEM BEFORE BUT NEVER WHERE CREAMS AND WARM WATER DO NOT HELP. I HAVE A BAD FEELING TOMORROW ITS BACK TO THE DR. ITS GETTING HARD TO WALK,LAY,SIT OR STAND.... SO IM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO DO,THANKS IN ADVANCE I APPRECIATE ALL THE GREAT INFO ON HERE!!!!-MIKE
My PCP gave me a prescription for some hydrocortisone suppositories but said nothing would help right away because they were clotted and the clot had to break before I would get some relief. It took about 3 days before it burst and bled. Then it was just some normal discomfort and the suppositories helped. That was 6 weeks ago the hemorrhoids still get mildly irritated after a bowel movement. Good luck.
