you likely already have, but if not, stop eating solids. when things get whacked going to clear liquids is my default option. is the blood bright red? based on your comment that you are straining I am going to guess that you have hemmerhoids maybe and that's the blood? in which case is it really butt burn or hemmerhoidal discomfort? if you bleed enough that you begin to get dizzy, light headed, have trouble breathing, get thee to a hospital and fast. I would also candidly call your docs on call service and see what they suggest. if nothing else it might give you peace of mind.
Thanks for the reply! Yes the blood is bright red and I peeked, the skin is quite broken I think because I've been leaking somewhat it must be burning the skin. I took numerous soaks yesterday and it seems a bit better today. I'll be careful as far as food goes for the next few days...thanks again.
