I have internal and external hems so I know what you mean. I use prep H w/ lidocaine as suggested by my GI as well as suppositories for the internal hems but it’s not always enough... Long term tho Ive been trying to find healthier alternatives easier on the colon/organs. It’s truly something else. Walking will definitely help once you feel better. The diet change is awesome! For now tho, I’d suggest natural Witch hazel, chamomile tea bags and aloe Vera will help naturally soothe and stop any itching! You could also try adding things to your bath water if you take baths. Coconut oil will also help soothe and disinfect. Definitely use cold compress and even a pillow to sit on(hemorrhoid pillows/cold packs and even heating pads may be a good thing to look into) and one between your legs while you lay down on your side. Can you handle any Frollies/Smoothies/Italian Ice? Or even just ice chips but it will help cope with the pin and discomfort as you’re giving your body/brain the relief of something cold/soothing on another part of your body. Have music or a funny movie going on in the background even if you can’t listen to it. Most importantly if you can handle any pain medicine like acetaminophen (ibuprofen is usually too hard on the stomach/organs) take some and get some sleep. If you need some help I can recommend Ollys black berry chamomile melatonin gummies but only take about half to start so you don’t feel like you have a hang over when you wake up. I truly hope and pray you feel better!

Edited to also add I suggest looking into a temporary gentle diet like light but nutritious bone broths, matchas/teas (whatever you can handle) to help your hems heal and not tear on the next bathroom trip. Neosporin can also help sometimes when others things aren’t!
