"A student asked the Master: 'I can't sit. I can't concentrate. How do I cure my hemorroids?'
The Master replied, 'Have you tried Lisp?'
The student stood pensive, then was not in pain anymore."
I think we should have a cup of coffee together. :-)
WFM, YMMV
I think I'd really like a proper, separate bidet, but it turns out I hate the bolt-on kind.
I had hemorrhoids which had to be operated because they become thrombosed. So I did a surgery (with general anaesthesia) to remove them.
The recovery pain was unbearable, a real torture. For like 3 months I was in pain all the time and had to take painkillers and put some special cream on the operated area (my ass). I couldn't sit and had to lie down all the time(I was lucky that I wasn't working at this time). Going to the toilet was really painful at first but that improved after some weeks. This was considered normal.
The thing is that even now, almost 5 years after the operation, it still bothers me, depending on my stool (if it's hard it's a big problem). Does it ever heal?
All in all unless really required I don't recommend operating your hemorrhoids. Change your diet, use a bidet, use creams and try to avoid surgery!!!
The worst bit though was how I got the fissure. I had a nearly completely obstructed anus. The human body will clear that if you like it or not, with or without medical intervention and it will do damage on the way out. Ugh.
Eat more fibre and drink more water!
the pain was super interesting. i have pretty bad OCD and it was strange to note that there are levels of pain where anxiety (or any other thought) is just a luxury you don't have time for.
i have a new appreciation and empathy for people who suffer with chronic pain.
So then a broken collarbone. And can only sleep in one position and getting into and out of bed is excruciatingly painful. And nothing itches, temperature is OK, sleep, if anything, better than usual because a lot of the usual things just aren't worth it, you know it took a lot of trouble to get into position just so and things aren't painful if you don't move, so make the most of it.
Funny story: when I was at Google, a friend and his wife came to visit. She went into the ladies', and beforehand I told her about the bidets in the toilets. She came out and said, "My God, you have to study to use one of those!"

it also happened the last time I posted something here, here is the backup:
How does this compare to other "take a break" programs like xwrits and Workrave?
