First, some very good news: Neither type of hemorrhoid is dangerous, and severe complications that require medical care are rare. Symptoms often can be relieved by trying a few natural and self-care treatments.

Draw a sitz bath. To relieve itching and irritation, fill a tub with three to four inches of warm (not hot) water and sit in it with your knees bent for about 10 to 15 minutes. Gently pat yourself dry with a towel, but don't rub the area.
Take fiber supplements. These draw water into your stool and make it easier to pass, helping to reduce hemorrhoid bleeding and inflammation. A psyllium husk fiber supplement, like Metamucil or a generic version, is a good choice. If psyllium causes gas or bloating, try a supplement with wheat dextrin (Benefiber) or methylcellulose (Citrucel).
Ease discomfort. Apply over-the-counter products that shrink the inflamed tissue and relieve itching. Try pads infused with witch hazel (Tucks), or soothing creams that contain lidocaine or hydrocortisone.
You can also take steps to prevent flare-ups.

Don't delay. Putting off bowel movements can cause stool to back up, leading to increased pressure and straining, which aggravates your hemorrhoids.
Sit right. Try not to sit on the toilet for long periods; this tends to make hemorrhoids push out and swell up. A way to speed up things is to elevate your feet with a step stool as you sit. This changes the position of your rectum to allow for easier passage of stools. Also, using a cushion beneath you when you sit on a chair or hard surface can ease swelling.
Keep it clean. After every bowel movement, gently clean your anal area with a witch hazel pad, a soothing baby wipe, or a cotton cloth soaked in warm water. If you have any irritation afterward, apply petroleum jelly or aloe vera gel.

Mouth

This is about the bellringer of a weird symptom complex. I have never heard of such in spite of decades of hands on clinical experience. What comes to mind is early symptoms of Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, neuroboreliosis, atypical epilepsis or some more exotic ballgames like astrocytosis, early onset syphilis or diabetes. These should all be ruled out before one can conclude that it is all in your head, which is not unlikely.

You have most likely "pulled a muscle" which is the common term for a light tear in the muscle fibers when you push or pull beyond your limit, especially if you have failed to warm up properly. In serious cases, a hematoma ensues making your skin black and blue. If that is not the case, use a warming lotion on the tender area 3 times a day until it is better. Give the thigh rest until it is no longer tender.

I assume you're taking Xarelto as an anticoagulant. I also assume you are taking Sotalol as a blood pressure reducing medication. It is not advisable to introduce Viagra into that mix, but the risk is yours. One thing to consider is that the lower the dose of Viagra, the less the risk.
