Question 3

hemorrhoids pain? i have pretty bad hemorrhoids to the point were i can't sit or sleep doc gave me some ointment. still hurts any tips or advice?

Considerations...: "healing" depends on whether the original cause for hemorrhoids persists.  Have you been straining at stool, have rectal dysfunction, perform an activity that increases pelvic engorgement with blood or increases pelvic pressure (heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, etc.)?  Have your hemorrhoids been surgically or medically managed (&amp; with otc or prescription drugs)? Are you sure they're hemorrhoids?

Question 9

best sleep position(s) to alleviate or avoid waking up with achy neck and back?

Accepted Answer

Use pillows: Dear JenniScott,

Comfort is paramount when sleeping.  Sleeping on your side with a pillow between your legs and improve neck pain.  If you have lower back pain, using a pillow behind your knees to slightly elevate it can help back pain.  Avoid sleeping on your stomach as it cause lead to unwanted neck discomfort in the am.  A firmer bed or memory foam mattress may do the trick.  Happy sleeping!

Accepted Answer

Catheters: Basically, the one that is most comfortable for you.  It is best to have the Foley catheter secured to the outside thigh to reduce traction on the catheter which can cause pain and/or bleeding.
