internal hemroids????

i was wondering  how deep internal hemroids can go....i have a burning pain deep inside my rectum...i can also feel that there is something there when i walk or do anything...i know that there is something there...it feels about the size of a little marball...can this be a hemroid?

it does not hurt when i use the washroom only after, the doctor has diagnosed me with IBS but he wants me to do a lower xray done... im really hoping its not a tumor...i asked for a colonopsy but he siad it would take 6 months  for me to get one..

if anyone out there knows what this can be please tell me....thank you

With me they stuck their finger up there to find it.  That sure was pleasant.

Does anybody know if internal hemorrhoids go away?  I haven't heard from mine in months.

By the way, where on God's green Earth do you live?  Why would it take six months to get a colonoscopy?  

I have no idea what it could be, though.  The doc's the only person who's equipped to figure it out.  If you're a young man, colon cancer's very unlikely.  If you're old, it becomes more likely.  But they treat it pretty well.  My grandfather had it once and they removed it.  Then, like 15 years later he had it again and they removed that.  By that time technology had advanced and the surgery was a piece of cake.  Annual physical is the key if you're at-risk for that.  He ended up dying, but of something totally unrelated.
