I have formed stool now well more than half the time. Seems like at least one a week I have a bm that is so so painful. Not so much rectally, but as it passes through. It is not large enough for me to think constipation. I will have painful muscle areas in my low back afterwards almost like I pulled it. Sometimes it makes my thighs hurt very badly like I ran and ran on cold muscles. Any idea what the deal is?

Pain is likely from rectal inflammation or muscle spasming. A few questions to narrow it down.

1.) Does the pain exist before, during, and/or persist after the poop is over? Inflammation-based pain is often limited to during the poop, continued healing over time with a focus on rectals (steriod or mesalamine enemas) help clear it up. Spasms tend to be in all three aforementioned categories and are often treated with anti-spasmatics like bentyl.
2.) Is the painful poop more formed, more dense, or larger in diameter than your normal is? Rectal inflammation can lead to what I call razor-blade-poops. You're healed higher up meaning the poops are getting formed, but your rectum still has severe inflammation and is very narrow in inside diameter, so passing those feels like crapping out razor blades or broken glass shards.

Is it unpatriotic to wipe your bumm with George Washington bills if there's no tp in a stall and you're otherwise in dire-straights? I think George would understand...

The bad episodes I have are definitely before, during, and after. I have dicyclomin, and have taken it only sometimes. I have a hiatal hernia, and GERD, and I had been reluctant to take the anti spasmodic for fear of making that worse. I think based on what you said, I am going to at least give it a try taking it 3x a day like prescribed and see if that helps. Thanks ipoop.
