Man that really looks painful. Sorry to hear about your probs dude. FWIW my doc told me to wear a tight shirt like under armor but I found some at wall mart from starter that is like spandex that helps me a lot. Also you could try one of those rubber stretch wraps that people use around their waist.

That's what I wear around the house. Then when I go out I wear the spandex stuff. Also if you have blood coming through I'd for sure see a doc. I'm no doctor but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night LOL Just funning but for sure if you have blood coming out I'd for sure would see a doc. Good luck and keep us posted.....m
