At your age: And taking hydrocodone you are probably constipated and this is not likely to be other than a bleeding hemorrhoid. If painless-internal. If painful then likely external. In either case if bm is otherwise normal increase fluids, stop the hydrocodone, use an otc stool softener for a few days and it should resolve. If more than a week see your doctor for an exam.

Heme + stool: Could be hemorrhoid, could be intestinal bleeding from NSAID (aleve) use (but this is usually upper GI bleeding). Best to always see GI and get any rectal bleeding evaluated. Best wishes.
