Thanks for the input Paul. I’ve never heard of banding but my hemorrhoids are on the inside, they don’t really hang. They poke out a little bit every now and then but I don’t think banding would work for me. If they do get worse I probably will look into surgery. They say soaking them helps too

Hi Lissette, I am exactly like youhemorrhoids, back sleeper and spasms when I first lay down. I am in tons of discomfort during the BP. It always takes me 2 – 3 hours to feel better. After the BP, it always feels like I still have to go but that resolves. I take Miralax every other

Hello Carla, I recently discovered that I have hemorrhoids as well, I guess from so much constipation and didge shimming. I also noticed increased spasms, especially when I’m in bed, it’s not too bad, it’s usually just when I first lay down and then they calm down. I think my mattress helps a

Do you have an air mattress? Because they are awesome for relieving pressure. Most of the time I set mine to float but if I have a pressure sore I set it to alternate and it will move air side to side kind of like you are doing with pillow but more often and while you sleep. I also have issues
