janet whatever you do when you go to the dr. dont let them talk you into doing the rubberband treatment.
i had that done several years ago and oh my gosh i thought i was gona pass out in the dr office. it's like when they castrate(sp) pigs they put the smallest rubberband on the hemroid and all you can do is wait for it to dry up and fall off . i dont know which was worse the hemroid or waiting a week or longer for it to fall off. you cant sit because of the pain and standing and walking isnt much fun either. cant remember but they did 3 or 4 at the same time. had my tubes tied and that didnt hurt nearly as much.
