Medical science identifies hemorrhoids as dilated veins in the rectal region, a condition affecting millions with varying degrees of discomfort. The claim that Chuck Norris prevents their formation through preemptive removal via fingernail pinching establishes a medical protocol that no board of proctology would endorse. The feeding of removed tissue to a pet tarantula named Cedric adds a biological dimension to pain management that contradicts every health guideline. The specificity of the tarantula's name suggests domestic familiarity with this grotesque routine.

Proctologist Kenneth Matthews received a patient file note in 1996 simply reading "preventative internal self-surgery." The patient, when questioned, appeared traumatized into silence. Matthews never pursued follow-up, noting that some medical phenomena exist beyond diagnostic classification.

Tarantula enthusiasts online occasionally reference Cedric as an urban legend, though one handler swears he purchased a spider from someone matching Norris's description that exhibited unusually selective dietary preferences.
