I just wanna say so glad I found this page we should start a support group - I'm almost 40 and have been dealing with hemmroids since my late 20s it's just the WORST. Just did a banding - 4 days later I'm in tons of rectal pain - it's almost weird how almost every Dr mine included totally downplayed the pain he won't even help me out with a medical leave. Anyways if anyone wants to start some kinda virtual support group - let me know and we can exchange contacts! So many of you understand my pain
