very painful Hemorrhoids?
I started with Hemorrhoids on Fri. They were not to bad. I was in so much pain on Sat I ended up in ER. Was told they were external Hemorrhoids. Was ginen some pain med (try not to take them as I know they "plug you up". Tucks Prep H does not help me. I was having constant horibal pain. Sun and Mon was a little better each pain. On Tues I was just about pain free. Today I went #2 is was normal. And now I am back to exchrucating pain after going to the bathroom. The warm baths do not help. So I am assuming that they were almost healed back up and I just aggervated them when I went. How long till they fully heal. I am not sure how I will get through work Tommrow. Any suggestions and help would be apperachated.

There are a few things that help. Keeping them super clean will help them go away faster. The Tucks can help with this if you can actually touch them. I’ve had them so bad I couldn’t even wipe my @ss! The warm baths will help you keep them clean.
You also want to do everything you can to shrink them. Witch Hazel will help with that. Get some big cotton balls, soak them with Witch Hazel and dab the hemmies with that. I also have good luck sometimes with Anusol or Prep H creams. Only put those creams on when the hemmies are super clean. When you’re applying the creams, try to push the hemmies inside, the pressure of that will actually deflate them enough to give you some relief.
You also don’t want to strain or linger over pooping, so don’t even go unless you have to go so bad that you know it’s just going to fall right out of you with no pushing. NO PUSHING! That is how you aggravate them.
If you can help it, don’t sit on them. Go to bed and lay on your side and read a book as much as you can for the next few days. Walking is even better than sitting.
Good luck!
Take a stool softener like colace for a couple weeks as to not aggravate them until they can heal.
Try stool softener.
