Hemorrhoids. ...

Has anyone ever have these before?

yeah ive had em before.

Like 50% of adults will get them at some point. Many women get them during childbirth.

I've had a very small one for some time now after years of terrible bowel habits. Fortunately I've changed these habits and deal with it very easily. I pretty much don't even feel it anymore unless I take a huge crap or a super dry crap and it aggravates it slightly. But even if that occurs, by the next day it doesn't hurt anymore. If you have them, make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and eat lots of fiber, especially fruits/veggies. You don't want them to get so bad that you need surgery, because I've heard its PAINFUL.

Yea, that's what I've been doing...they (had like 2 or 3 of them) have gone down considerably since the summer, but one internal roid is still giving me slight problems.

Damn, I guess I'm getting old, ;-\

Yea, I got one the 2 or 3 times I had Gastroenteritis, probably because I spend so much time on the toilet that the area gets inflamed. They hurt like hell, but I only had them as long as the Gastroenteritis lasted, then they usually go away on their own.
