i had one once...back in july 1998. it was pretty dang painful. it hurt to walk, it hurt to sit down, it hurt to lay down. basically, it just hurt.
My hemorrhoid turned to anal fissure. My wife nicknamed it Roy. Roy was very painful. Aw, those soothing Tucks pads. I just thought I’d add my TMI story to the thread.
