Is this an Internal Hemorrhoid??

I'm a 40 year old female, been suffering from hemorrhoids off and on for a few years. I was constipated for a few days a couple weeks ago and pushed a little too hard in 1 spot kind of high up in there. After that, I've noticed a good deal of swelling up there after a bowel movement lasting about an hour. I want to walk like a cowboy to open things up, like I can't open my anus all the way. Sometimes there's a sore burning sensation in same area. No bleeding. It's so frustrating! It's been about 3 weeks and things are improving, but still not quite right. I've usually experienced external hems so I'm new to internal ones. Is that what it sounds like or something more sinister. I'm getting a little nervous! Thanks

    Sounds like a internal pile. Can be very uncomfortable for quite some time, especially with bathroom trips. Key is to "soften" up stool, drink tons of water.
