The dreaded anal/rectal issues

[Melka76]

They have reared their ugly head... Any suggestions?? We are giving him plenty of fat at pill time... I'm thinking he needs to do it 30 mins prior but dr said within 30 mins. There seems to be blood internally, I'm thinking hemmoroids and he's pushing hard stool... Sorry so detailed, but need help!!!

Ok, I am confused, or maybe it is brain fog, every time I write As Pooh said,  *** is entered. Is this a computer glitch?

Hang in there sweetie, it is a very hard tx but you both will make it through.
It is wonderful that you came on here looking for help.
Everyone is very kind on here and helpful.  The good thing about treating now is that there is so much information on here.  So many suggestions as to what to try.
*** Pooh said, what works for one might not work for another.  
At the same time, please let the doctor know what is going on.  I thought that my problems were normal so did not report the "shards of glass" right away.  Thinking that was what I had to suffer.  I late found out there was help for the sx.  I am not sure why doctors don't tell you that but it has been written about here...ALOT
I am rooting for both of you

I think what is important is to have a good arsenal of supplies and find what works for the individual. What works for one individual may or may not work for another. We all have to find what works best for each of us who has had or who gets these problems. That is why a list of various remedies is good to have. Then one can pick which one works for himself or herself. Then it is a matter of trial and error to see what works best. Plus, I found that one thing would work for awhile and then would no longer work, usually because the problem has changed some.

There is something else for which to be on alert. Some of the external anal problems may not be hemorrhoid or feces induced. Some may be the drug rash itself and may be totally unrelated to the other butt/anal problems. And, yes, I know that because I had the rash there. So it is important to figure out the exact problem too, is it anal related or is it drug rash related. The treatment of the problem will vary depending on which is the cause.

Yes, Dee, I recall those Rectal Rockets too. I never used then, but a couple who did, swore by them. LOL.
