i have a question, i havent officially been diagnosed with hemroids but i'm pretty sure i have one and i am going to the doctor for it soon. my question is can hemmroids cause low back/hip pain? my lower back just above my butt aches all the time. i see a chiropractor regularly, but i have always had bad posture, i sit at work all day in front of a computer. any thoughts? also, as far as the hemroid itself goes, ii have a small flesh colored bumps just on the outside of the anus and it doesnt hurt to touch it. after bowel movements though my anus area is very sore. i dont have any bleeding, (i have in the past, but very very small amounts just on the toilet paper) does this sound like and internal or external hemroid? this is a very embarrasing thing to talk about and so far i have only told my wife. i hate the doctor but my mind is worse. i always think the worst...ya know the "c" word. anyway i take metamucil and it seems to help a little. my wife i spicking me up some preperation h today and we will see how that works. someone please respond with some info for me
