YES I have my 1st painful outer hemeroid. And I don't mean my pain in the a** co workers :) j/k
It really hurts and is blowing up like a balloon. I can feel the area and it appears that I have a new inner heneroid but it is so close to mt anus that it is inflamed by the muscle and causing the ballooning on the outside. I feel like stabbing it but don't think that would help....
I have had inner hemeroids - which have no pain for many years and come and go but this is the 1st one on the outside of the anis and it does hurt.
