I was laying on the couch last night for a while. When I got up, I was crippled by the worst rectal spasms, and I felt like my insides were going to fall out. It was like a tearing sensation and heaviness in my pelvis. It took me about 5mins to pass urine, as when I’d try to relax, the rectal spasms would hit, causing me to tense up. The pain lasted about 10mins and was horrendous. I’m okay today, but just wondering what the heck that could have been? If I was laying funny, could it have caused the spasms?

I have been experiencing rectal bleeding for about 2 months now. I know, I know, I should’ve seen a doctor by now. BUT, it got better in between the two months. Sometimes my stool is soft enough that it doesnt cause any bleeding, but other times it is really hard. Its always just a little blood in the toilet (making the water pink) or some on the tissue when i wipe but just the other day it was way more than before. I have the sensation to go to the restroom but am scared of passing hard stool and pain. I was wondering what can I do (at home) to help ease the pain. I took a laxative once before (correctol) and it made me vomit. Can I take a enema? I need fast relief ASAP… Thanks in advance

Ive been having so many problems these past so many months. My body retains everything I put into it, food water When I produce a bowel movement its undigested food, I went to the doctors 2 times, one being a specialist and I was in the emergency room, I never have an appetite anymore nor do I ever feel a full sensation when I do eat, I’m not able to go to the doctors till the 28th I don’t know what to do in the mean time I eat so much fiber and drink a lot of water, exercise everyday its like what am I supposed to do? I think my body is starting to become used to it my stomach used to extend out like so far like I was 6 months pregnant from all the impaction and now I still feel the same impaction sensation but it doesn’t extend as far, This is so difficult I get all these pains in my sides and chest and I can’t breath sometimes I thought about going on that master cleanse thing or maybe just water fasting for a while because im running out of options and I cant go to doc till the 28
And my fiber intake is so high, and with the amount of food/fiber I put in its not amounting to how much I should be going to the bathroom. I remember like last week I consumed two 64 oz. bottles of prune juice in a matter of two days and it did like nothing.. and the miraxlax and arthomicin the doctors prescribe are not working.. and its not mental trust me
This isn’t a stupid question.. I just don’t know what to do I’m running out of answers.. I’ve been doing so much research over the past couple months… ughh this is so stressful.. you guys have no idea..
I have been using enemas.. when I was in the emergency room they did an x-ray on my abdominals and everything was so impacted all the way up.. like all my intestines and colon and everything.. they were amazed by it..

I’ve been dealing with these weird symptoms: dizziness, foggy brain, discomfort on my right side (ascending colon?), diarrhea (off and on), blood pressure a little elevated since it all started for about a year. It gets worse with my period. It all started with a trip to the ER because I had what they called a vasovagal reaction (very full stomach) and then an anxiety attack. My pulse was 125 at the time. I went to a cardiologist and everything checked out. I went to an internal medicine dr and he did blood work and everything was fine. Went to my gyn, more blood work and all hormones were fine. Had ultrasound and upper endoscopy, all fine. They found my gallbladder wasn’t working right and they took it out in Oct. 07. Last month dx with IBS but the symptoms don’t fit exactly. The symptoms are as I stated above + right sided sensation of my internal organs and tiredness. Now I have a weird taste in my mouth and a sore throat. No acid refux though. Could this really be only anxiety?

I am 20 year old male and sometimes when i get the urge of getting a bowel movement, I sometimes get a sort of spasm like sensation coming from my rectal area…its not exactly a pain, but its a sensation that feels like its sucking in and like a needle prick like at the same time from within…the spasm lasts only like 3 seconds and once i defecate everything is fine.. Is this cause of concern or Is this just normal nerve response from the urge to defecate ?

I found blood on the toilet paper, it was bright, this happened before. I thought i wasn’t getting enough fiber so i changed my diet and then it stopped bleeding (i’ve recently been neglecting my vege). Also every time that i do bleed there is a tearing sensation when i release my bowel. As if the bowel was too hard or to big for my rectum. I’m confident that i just need to go back to a vege base diet, but i was scared if i have poyp in the colon, is it possible?

I’ve been having problems w/abdominal pain for over a year. I’ve had tons of tests done-no doctor can figure out what’s wrong. The main issues are a feeling of fullness, like a rock that’s stuck smack dab in the center of my abdomen, a couple of inches above my belly button. The fullness usually occurs after I eat and often is at its worst several hours after I eat. The feeling of fullness doesn’t go away for HOURS! Sometimes I feel like I don’t even get hungry because I’m still so full from my last meal. Sometimes I have pain, like a gnawing sensation. I also have problems with burping a lot (I never used to!). Sometimes the feeling is directly in between where by ribs meet. But more often it’s right in the middle of my torso, about 2-3 inches above my belly button. Please, if anyone has any idea what this could be, please please give me suggestions! Is this where my pancreas is located? My transverse colon? Pancreatic duct? I have NO idea, but it’s driving me crazy!
