Mig, Now don't go getting all upset here. I'm sure there must be *some* explanation. I see that you are in Canada. Is getting into the Doc a looooong wait? You definitely should have this explained to you. Especially if this symptom of incomplete evacuation only showed up post-op. I know this may sound absurd, but is there any way the muscles there are in spasm? I mean, can you tell? If they appear that way, perhaps trying to soak in a hot tub or warm bath may get things to loosen up. But before you do anything drastic, get into a Doc and ask what is possibly going on. If there is actual pelvic floor dysfunction, there may be treatments available. If you are eating alot, especially fiber, I'm hoping you are drinking a good amount of fluids as well. Exercising as much as you do, ya may be sweating alot out and not appropriately replacing those lost fluids. But hon don't get too down, get some answers from the Doc. I think you would feel so much better if you knew what was happening here and maybe the Doc can help.(((Mig)))BQ
