I know this is going to sound really odd to some of you but here goes anyway. Do any of you get pain around your rectum if you strain to go to the bathroom? It almost feels like it is either bruised or that part of your colon is going to come out.I had taken 2 immodium on tuesday and ended up not having a bm until last night. Very very uncommon for me since I have D about 6-9 times a day sometimes more. But Sunday during the day I kept feeling like I had to go, lots of pressure on rectum, but when I sat down to go nothing would happen, even when I pushed. Almost like it was stuck. (Some would come out but not dislodge and end up getting sucked back in. Sorry so graphic) Anyway, finally Sunday night I had enough, I ate a lot of junk to try and go bm. But when I finally did I had to push really hard. Gave myself a massive headach. And when it finally came out it felt a little better but rectum now feels like it is majorly bruised. When I sit in a chair it hurts really bad, and when I sit on the toilet and relax my muscles it almost feels like I am ripping open and my colon is going to fall out. Really scary feeling. I don't know if I damaged my colon by pushing so damn hard or if this is a normal occurance if constipated. Never been that constipated before. Any feedback? I am really nervous that I did some damage like pushing my colon down while pushing, or tearing it inside, or doing any other type of damage. All I know is that it hurts down there really bad like I bruised it beyond belief. I could really use some insight on this.Thanks,Sandi
