The other, uglier ROIDS

Ok, so this is nasty, but I was just wondering how many of you guys have experienced hemorrhoids as a result of heavy lifting and straining. I just got one the other day and let me tell you it hurts like a bastard. I'm gonna have to lay off squats, deadlifts, or basically anything that causes me the pick weights up off the floor for a while. Prolly have to start using the Hammer Strength machines instead of free weights for a while too. But i asked my doctor and did some research online, and both sources said that regardless of age, roids (not the good kind) are very common in weightlifters. I was just wondering if anyone experienced this and if you know of any tricks to keep the pain/inflammation down, etc. I'm on a hydrocortisone cream and I take advil periodically when the pain gets excessive, but other than that im just suffering through it.
 
Try using tucks pads when you go poopy. Helps with the pain.

BTW anything with witch hazel (which is in tucks) will help with pain.
 
had em for a couple weeks. my wife, nurse, said it's basically from trying to take a **** when you don't really have to.

moral of the story: don't force yourself to **** when you don't have to. :)
 
Oddly enough, I remember reading somewhere that cissus q. (as in Cissus RX) is used to treat hemorrhoids.
