Just had a bowel movement and looks like a hemorrhoid popped, cause there was a shit ton of blood. I had a Covid booster a couple days ago and it completely wiped me out, and I basically didn't eat or drink and was taking Tylenol for 24 hours straight, so I wonder if this is part of it. Couldn't have helped.
FWIW, Completely painless and no other symptoms, so unlikely it is anything else. But you never know.
Apparently even if you are pretty sure it is hemorrhoids you should still get it checked out. I made a Dr. appointment for middle of December (LOL Kaiser).
I already have heartburn and take PPI's. So I guess add one more thing to the list. Pretty soon diabetes probably. And then cancer.
In summation, getting old sucks.
