so in the last few weeks, or even months, i have 2 external hemmies that swell up after standing or walking for as little as 15 minutes, but on average 30-60 minutes. when i'm at home I quickly apply some cold witch hazel on a cotton ball and put some ice over that and in 15 minutes they go back down to pretty much nothing again. even when i sit, they don't seem to swell - only when i stand or walk they slowly pop right back out. When in a pinch, i just either put some proctozone or vaseline and insert into my bung and then they go back down immediately. maybe my hemmies are internal/external hemmies...? i dont know.
I'm afraid that if i stand or walk for too long, that they might swell to a size that i may not be able to treat so easily.
my poop has been nice and soft lately, and i've even purchased the dang squatty potty that i've been using for over a month now. but even with my easy BMs i still deal with this swelling. I don't necessarily feel any pain or itching - it's more of a discomfort or just a feeling of grape sized balloon down there.
i used to walk 4 miles a day 3-5 times a week, even just a few months ago. I was hoping that once i got my diet in order as well as me being all responsible and trying to treat the suckers, that they would calm back down.
anyways - do any of you deal with something similar? are your hemmie issues a constant daily or even hourly issue?
from what i understand, hemmies only get worse, and i fear that my hemmies are the types that will never go away now. they will be my daily companions, popping out to say hi everytime i stand up.
i'm so depressed. i hate hemmies!!!!!!!!!

Exactly the same issue it's killing me , Walking for more than a few blocks and out they come leave's a huge stain in my pants , very embarrassing and it's very depressing , Stopped working ( roofing ) because i can't deal with the discomfort and the smells and stains , Seems doctors all say the same thing , Metamucil & exercise , this helps nothing , My BM's are regular and this is not the issue , Having a real tough time coping with this wish i could find a cure or even a remedy to stop the swelling .

Having the same issues as well. Maybe something like the HAL procedure would help, by killing off the veins.
