Hi there all.
I know a lot of you have heard stories of really bad hemorrhoids, but I have been looking and I haven't seen someone describe the pain I'm going through.

Forgive me if someone has, but I really have been trying to look through past posts. My problem started a few weeks ago when once I was having a BM and it hurt, a lot. This was the first time it had ever happened to me and I didnt know what it was. The pain after that was incredibly, the hole of my butt just throbbed and throbbed. Finally I went to the emergency room where the nurse proceeded to stick her finger up my butt which made me literally scream in pain. She told me I had external hemorrhoids.

Then another nurse came back with a suppository she said wouldn't hurt at all. Is it supposed to hurt this badly when things go up your butt? I'm VERY good with pain usually but this was just unbearable. She stuck it up my butt and again I just yelled out in pain. I dont know what's wrong with me!

If I dont go to the bathroom for a few days then the pain subsides but the minute I have a BM my anus just throbs after that. Just the pain is incredibly that it actually affects my life. Even today, I had a BM and I was really happy to find that it didnt hurt at all when I went through the BM. However about 3 minutes afterwards it just started to burn and throb uncontrollably.

Please, tell me someone understands this! I really feel like i have given up hope. I've tried so many "remedies" and they all do nothing. I cant stand the pain, and its gotten to the point where I'm actually having suicidal thoughts.

Also, please dont suggest the surgery. The thread titled "Hemorrhoidectemy blues" scared me out of that one :-\

Hi - I do hear you! I am going thru something very similar. I have terrific burning after a b.m. It has been going on for almost a year. The gastroenterologist said I have "eosiniphils" in the rectal area. These are white blood cells that react to an allergy. No allergies that I know of. Sometimes one can have an auto immune response to something. I have been on different types of prednisone & they help for a few days. This last trial has been of cortisone enemas for 10 days. It has not helped. The only thing that relieves the pain is a pain pill. What have you been taking? Even anusol has not helped?

I've just been taking various creams and pads and things like that. I recently bought the H Miracle book and I've been meaning to try the remedies they suggest but I haven't gotten around to it with school and work. I'm also thinking about buying venapro, have you tried it?

Have not tried any you mention. Hopefully, one of those will work for you. I am calling the Dr. tomorrow, just using something for pain now. But the burning around the anal canal is terrific. So I can truly sympathize with you my friend. Will keep in touch.

Have you tried Americaine? It is an ointment that has the strongest pain killer OTC. You might not be able to find at your local drugstore... It might give you some relief and you can reapply as often as you need to...
