I don't get it. Everyone else seems to have hemorrhoids right at the anal opening, so why is mine (if that's even what it is) way up at the top of my butt, right where the crack starts? It bleeds whenever I touch it, and sitting on hard surfaces makes it bleed even more. Plus, the itching is driving me crazy. Probably just a hemorrhoid, right?
Should I hit up my primary care doctor first?
Wait, how does that fat actually get into the tube? Or what's the process?
I'm not in any pain or anything, but damn, just being around them is infuriating!

welcome to the club.
Being part of this "exclusive" club isn't exactly on my bucket list. This first flared up about eighteen months ago, then nothing. Now, out of nowhere, it's back. I'm guessing it's my diet?
Is OTC stuff actually effective for this?? I read somewhere that certain meds are specifically for internal issues...
Anyway, I'm heading off to take a cold shower. People say the shock helps...
I’m not even sure if I’m dealing with the same thing here. I’ve got some bleeding, but it’s right at the top of my butt crack, maybe five centimeters down from the start. It’s this tiny little wound that bleeds off and on—it flared up again yesterday. It only really bleeds when there’s pressure, and this morning it bled a bit more heavily when I pressed down with the toilet paper. From what I gather, hemorrhoids are only located right around the anus, right? Or am I missing something? Help me out here, please.
I’ve gone through Bubnjic three times now, most recently about two weeks ago... I went a little too deep, and things got messy. I ended up seeing a specialist, and he told me to come back for a follow-up in six months; if it hasn't healed on its own by then, he'll have to go in and repair it.
Now here’s my concern: what happens when I fly? The doctor said it shouldn't be an issue since there isn't anything left to break—it's basically just a void at this point. But realistically, can that actually heal up even a little bit in a month?
Basically, even with the damage, it shouldn't crack mid-flight. I was told the trick is just to equalize the pressure—so I'll just pinch my nose and blow through it.
Back when I was a kid, my doctor told me surgery wasn't necessary if it just healed on its own. Well, I’m assuming it finally did... I’ve got an appointment next week to have a specialist take a look at it and confirm.
I ruptured my left eardrum twice when I was a kid... I still have some hearing loss in that ear, and whenever I go diving in the ocean, water leaks right in.
Now I’m facing a flight, and I'm worried—is my eardrum going to pop again? What’s the actual protocol here?
I’ve heard people mention using nasal sprays or carrying around earplugs, but is that enough?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I’ve got this pain under my right arm whenever I move my thumb. I'm assuming it's the lymph nodes acting up? There's some slight redness there too, and it hurts like hell if I touch it...
Anyone have any thoughts?
Yeah, it’s a bit swollen today, but there isn't any pain. Just sticking to cold compresses for now...
I haven't gone to get the tattoo yet. If the weather clears up tomorrow, I'll head in, but honestly, I'm a little paranoid they might hit me with some long, awkward lines... I've got my trip to Vegas in five days. 😢 😢
So you're telling me there's actually no need for leg braces or casts?
So, I was playing basketball and rolled my left ankle. Usually, the pain lasts maybe two or three minutes and then I'm fine, but this time, I actually heard a pop when it happened... and the pain didn't start until this morning. I can stand on it, and I can even jog, but if I try to move it in the direction of the twist, the pain is absolutely brutal.
Right now, I'm just slathering on some cold gel and using whatever bandages the pharmacist handed me.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
