Im also have a tightness in my leg same side as the problem . I'm on an amoxicillin for a week. I have no abnormal discharge. Just discomfort from the hemerriods. Which have been checked twice in the pass two weeks by the doctor and she said to eat better. Taking the amoxicillin has made me feel like I was gonna throw up for the first two days. Now I'm fine.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound will confirm.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for posting in health care magic.
It looks like enlarge lymph nodes rather than cyst . Ultrasound of the affected area will confirm the diagnosis. The purpose of ultrasound is to differentiate solid and cystic lesions.
I prescribe Antibiotics like Cefuroxime and Clindamycin and anti inflammatory tablets to my patients with similar complaints, before sending for Ultrasound.
If haemorrhoids are bleeding and painful, Surgery has to be done.
Nothing to worry.
If you have any queries, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards

Close to the hemerriods I have a small cut After movement it may burn for about a minute or two. Should I be concerned? Doctor says the hemerriods itself aren't inflamed. But I don't think she seen the small cut. I have no bleeding in the anal area.
