i’ve been lucky, i’ve never had a dose of the farmers from driving trucks.
i believe it’s supposed to be common for people that sit on their arse for living.
i have had them, but it was from rowing 25 miles for charity. prety good rate too. it worked out to about £200 per mile 
anyway, it’s [zb]ing painful. so what can we do about it?
is it just one of those things that will enevitably come along and bite you on the arse once in a while?
and could it be classed as industrial injury?
The next time you want to stick your middle finger up at someone you don’t like - give it extra meaning by using it on your chalfonts first!
If their windscreen is close enough, you might even want to try the “arsey flick” which often causes great offence too…
nope…iv`e never had “plymouths”…thank god

Have you tried Anusol or Preparation H? my mate Phil(coincidence?)aka Anusol Phil recomends both for the Adrian Chiles!!!
I suffered for many years with the “nobbies” which I put down to driving old lorries with hard seats and not much springing.
It was only after I retired in 1998 that I asked my GP for some cream to put on them.
She told me that it was easy to have them off and two weeks later I was at the clinic.
A nurse gave me a quick wash out and then the doc, (his name was Grimley) slipped small rubber bands around each of the offending objects.
Four clicks and the job done, no sedation or pain and the things dropped off after a day or two.
I’ve just read this whilst eating my tea thinking it was something about farmers when I saw the title! Big mistake!
No coincidence that it’s posted by one of this forum’s resident PITA’s 
Can’t imagine the discomfort of having a serious case of the ceramic’s and having to drive.
Suffered quite a bit when I was doing the middle east many years ago.I think that was down to irregular bowel movements,and straining to give birth to a “Richard” that was long over due.
However,since being at home I have not had any problems for many years now,but eat plenty of roughage and keep your movements regular,no straining.
When I did have the problem,I found that “Anusol” did give some relief.
Never had an attack of “the farmers” but I did get 3 strawberries stuck up my Harris, the doctor gave me some cream
