Hey just wondering if anybody else who's had internal hemorrhoids has lost alot of weight? Have had them for almost a year now and its starting to bug me. I try working out and it just seems to make them worse, so I switched to walking, I get halfway through the walk and end up in so much pain that it makes for a very long walk home. Have recently started losing quite a bit of weight, which I think is due to the hemorrhoids. Its starting to concern me a bit. I don't go to the doctor that often, but when I do I just get told, 'oh I can fix that' and get handed laxatives. Which obviously at the moment I'm not taking because I have the opposite problem. But yup I think I'm just fed up! Any suggestions? :-)
