I'm a male, 43 yrs old. I'm from the Pacific NW and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm glad I've found this forum although some of the terminology might a bit foreign to me, being from the states and not speaking proper english. So I still don't know what 'piles' are but I'll get there one day.
I'm a husband and father of a 2 1/2 your old boy with another due soon. I'm terribly depressed and have a lot of anxiety right now.
How I found myself here.
To make a really long story short, I had a terrible ear infection which the doctors gave me vicodin for and I ended up with the worst constipation I have ever experienced. I had a bowel movement that I almost ended up passing out from. I'm 100% sure that's when it happened and now every BM after is painful.
I've had hemorrhoids in the past and so I went to my doctor and she gave me some cream with diltiazam and lidocaine and some suppositories. The healing is sooooo slow.
I'm terribly depressed and the notion of having to have a BM gives me great anxiety. My son wants to play and run around and I can't even do that. My wife I'm sure is tired of being patient with me.
I would literally rather have a broken femur.
This is really terrible and I'm glad I found this place. It gives me things to read while I take 4+ baths a day. I'm tired of the baths as well... Ok. That's it from me. Thank you very much.
