i know i shouldnt do this but im going to! i have been suffering rectal pain for a couple of months now. its fleeting but constant, like a pinching pain or deep rectal spasm that comes and goes off and on. i have a fissure which plays up every now and then and bleeds a little but it heals within a day and its gone. ther is also a growth type thing extending from my anus which doenst hurt or cause any discomfort. i had a baby 8 months ago and had terrible constipation throughout the prenancy which didnt resolve itself until about 3 months ago. i stil have to strain alot however to get results in the number 2 department. it feels like i have strained my lower gi region into the state it is now. other than that i feel fine, eat like a horse, no bleeding unless i strain the fissure and my stools havent changed. anyone have an input. many thanks.
