I don't have this issue, but I'll weigh in anyway.

1)Stop Lifting? Not an option really, in my opinion. Now...change methods? Sure.

2)OTC meds: I would think definitely, but I don't think they will do anything other than treat/control symptoms.

3)Surgery: Consult a physician first, no one else can really answer the question, but I'd imagine "Surgery as a last resort, only when there is no other option." would be the thinking. The typical post surgical issues for hemorrhoidectomy would have to be your main concern.

Really? Did you think he was planning to self perform the surgery?

Went through this surgery just over a year ago. You're correct on the recovery. It sucked immensely. Granted, my doctor gave me that warning beforehand, but I had been dealing with the issue for over 5 years by that point.

Eventually it did come back and now I'll stick with softeners, laxatives, and lots of water. Not going to give up lifiting.
