Mid March I was laid out with the worst cough i've ever had in my life. Deep cough. After a week i went to a walk in clinic on our way to a 3 day school activity for our kids. She tested me negative for influenza but prescriped me a z pack and pregnazone. I felt worlds better within hours. Fast forward five days later my butt started pulsating, almost like a something was moving but probably a nerve. It would be severe a few hours after pooping. once in a while there would be blood. it looked like there was small white elongated chunks in once in a while. a few weeks after this i went to the doctor. He stuck a finger in my butt and i gave a stool sample. It was only checked for parasites because of i told him of the sensation of something moving in my rectum. I bought some internal hemmoroid cream and used that. It didn't seem to help. 6 weeks later i went back again, different doctor as the first one seemed more annoyed than anything. This was a PA the next time. Same thing, stuck a finger in. talked about hemmoroids. Prescribed me some stronger hemmorod cream. It was $300 so at the last minute we grabbed some more (different) internal cream plus some suppositories. 6 weeks later i called back and talked to her nurse. SHe said the prescription was quite a bit stronger. Try it for two weeks and then we can see about follow up if problems still. I've been meaning to get in but its a week later and no change. I rarely go to the doctor but this time something is obviosly wrong. Sometimes when i poop its painful on one side, like theres a growth. Other times its not that painful, usually when its painless, a few hours later its very uncomfortable. This will last like 8 hours. It feels like my entire rectum (not one side) is rashy and dry and i feel the puslating sensation. I no longer bleed. I'm 37 years old. I've had a brother in law younger than me last year that had surgery to remove internal hemmoroids. I have better insurance but seems like i get the run around when i just want verification that is whats wrong.
