Is this a external hemorrhoid?

Hey y'all I am new to this forum. I have suffered from internal hemorrhoids for the past few years. They have never been really bad, maybe a little pain with bowel movements and some blood but that's it. When I first had one I freaked out and immediately went to the doctor to only be told yep you have hemorrhoids. He didn't tell me how to treat them just not to worry they will get better on their own. That being said I haven't had one in a long while. This past saturday July the 25th I helped a friend move into her new 2nd story apartment. There was only 4 of us helping her and she had enough furtniture for a 5 person family. It took ALL day. We chugged gatorades and took turns lying on her kitchen floor to cool off. I get home and noticed when I went to the bathroom the mild discomfort that I had been having with my internal hemorrhoids and though great another one. I was sore all over from the move and decided to use on of the shower bombs(these contain Sodium Bicarbonate, Corn Starch, Citric Acid, Epsom Salt, Organic Menthol, Safflower Oil, Water, Meadowfoam Oil, Jojoba Oil, Essential Oil (Eucalyptus, Tea Tree), Boric Acid, Rosemary Oleoresin) from level naturals as a bath bomb to soothe my sore body. I had ran out of my Epson salt and figured one of those would work. By Sunday morning I was in Bad pain. I couldn't figure out if it was something I pulled moving or the stupid internal hemorrhoid. By Monday I could hardly move and could feel a lump on my butt near the anus. Tuesday I had to go back to work, I am a microbiologist and spend most of my day sitting. I finally looked to see what the issue was. I could see a skinnish rectangular bulge enter the skin. It starts at the anus and follows the butt crack up the back. It was not discolored at all and I have not bleed at all. I goggled external hemorrhoids and was only able to find one that looked like mine. I talked to my dad and sister who both suffer from painful external hemorrhoids and was advised to get preparation H and this monkey powder stuff. I have been using those things and doing sitz soaks before I leave for work and as soon as I get home. Ive been doing what little sleep I can get on my stomach with a pillow under my hips. I am also taking Ibuprofen. I notice that a dose only last me about 4 hrs before the pain is back with vengeance. I can barely walk and sitting is an art to get a semi comfortable spot. I don't want to waste the money to go back to my doctor for him to go yep you have external hemorrhoids and just send me home again. Im dying y'all this pain is HORRIBLE! Does this sound like an external hemorrhoid?

I dont think it has prolapsed as of yet. It is the same color as the skin around it. I drink a ton of water, in fact I only drink water no colas or other drinks. As far as fiber goes I try to get enough but I am now going to start taking a supplement to help me out even more. preparation H helped the first day I used it be as far as relief goes I don't think its helped much since then. I will say this I checked on it again and it has gotten significantly smaller since yesterday. This gives me hope that it might be leaving me for now. I really don't want to go to my doctor because he was less than helpful anytime anyone of my family has gone to him with these. I live in a very small country town in north ga and he just told us they clear up on their own. I will check to see if maybe he will prescribe something to me over the phone. Thanks. Katie

Ok it just burst what doi do?
