I’ve got the genetics for varicose veins, and unfortunately mine manifest themselves in a nerve-rich area of the body – my ass.
Yes, I have terrible hemorrhoids.
There’s nothing life-threatening about this. It’s not an emergency.
There’s only the pain.
It’s exactly like having a red-hot poker stuck up your ass. Or so I imagine.
Sometimes the pain is so bad that the entire situation becomes incredibly funny to me and I just start laughing.
So I “manage” the pain with Advil, ice packs, and traditional central nervous system depressants – tequila, mostly.
Cannabis helps a bit.
Nothing helps much.
The weirdest part: as I write this, I can feel tissues moving inside my body. Like a worm.
This thread is for what my situation means for healthcare consumption. Because I’m not alone.
I also feel nervous. My dad was an ER doc. My brother is a healthcare lawyer. I know hospitals.
