pain in the ass

Post by NeverSayDie »

Rangers & Medics,

As part of my upper body workout I've been doing alot of military presses and as a result of this I developed a quater sized hemorrhoid from over exertion. Today while walking home from PT and sneezed. The um, "pucker pressure" from this cuased the hemorriod to pop like a large zit. I just finished cleaning up the blood which ran down to the back of the knee. The discomfort has lessened considerably.

I have a four day FTX starting in two days that will last untill monday morning. During the FTX our highest form of sanitation will be peroxide and babywipes. I have been waiting for this FTX for several months now and I really want to just drive on but I want to make sure I'm not just being stubborn.

How would you treat this out in the feild?
What is the risk of infection?
does it warrant medical attention? (no coverage)

Well, first off you're not lifting properly. You only need to use those muscles that are doing the lifting. It doesn't help when lifting in a military press to tighten your abs or glutes or anything else....it only pulls oxygen enriched blood away from the muscles that need it. As to the hemorhoids, the only real concern is bleeding. You can actually bleed to death if you let it go unchecked, but if it stops within a reasonable amount of time, you should be good to go. As long as you use common sense in your hygene, you shouldn't have to worry about infection. SEE A DOCTOR as soon as you can to get it taken care of permanently.

Went to the doc,

No PT for two weeks and antibiotics. The FTX has been delayed on account of good weather. It'l be healed up by then.
