(sorry, no pics)
So deadlift Tuesday I did 6 working sets of 6-8 reps each. Near the end I felt a small tickle in my ass, but no pain.
No problems at all on Wednesday with light squats (bad knees) and bench.
Thursday no workout, pain sitting at the office right where I felt the tickle, not too bad, though.
Friday no workout, and left work early. Barely able to sit on the toilet. Late Friday 102 deg fever.
Saturday ER visit. Diagnosis after EVERYONE looked at my ass was thrombosed hemorrhoid. I was sent home with some useless skin ointments and pain pills. Later Saturday 102.7 deg fever, confusion, couldn't urinate at all. Couldn't even look at food.
Sunday ER visit. Abscess surgery, and a fun night in the hospital. It bothered me a little that so many people there remembered me from my stay last year. I don't know why. It didn't bother me they brought in a group of RN students to look at the doc's work and discuss proper care. Could barely keep from laughing laying there on my side while they talked and the nurse probed. Sometimes pain is a good thing.
It's Tuesday, and I'm mostly back to normal with just a little continued bleeding. The doc told me this injury is very common!? He also said another day and I might have needed to wear a bag the rest of my life. I never ever heard of this, and it freaking terrifies me! So I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience??
