I have had piles on and off since I had dd but nothing like today. I've been stood up all day and have a really bad stabbing pain in my bottom. I looked and have a big purple/blue lump sticking out.
I have googled it and obviously have a thrombosed hemmorhoids have now convinced myself I am going to die from a migrating blood clot.
I have OCD and severe health anxiety. Wibu to go to out of hours?
The lump is excruciating and I am having a panic attack also.

Could you ring the doctor and get the emergency out of hours number?

Sorry you feel awful. Hope you are OK soon. Flowers

I'm worried that I'll feel ridiculous going to out of hours but I just feel really worried. Do you think I need to be seen asap?

Not at all. If you are worried, call your emergency doctor's number.

They will be able to get a doc to ring you and administer a prescription for you. Maybe some cream or something. Don't worry too much though; piles are harmless. They may shrink on their own. Smile
