Hi Guys, I'll try to keep this brief.
2 years ago I was doctoring with left sided bowel pain. Had scan and colonoscopy and diagnosed with impacted bowel although I though I was going OK. Tried numerous things but eventually put on Movicol and had been on this for a whole year. Towards the end and now I'm off this I have been struggling to pass motions, especially a second one in the afternoon. I go with relative ease in the morning but always seem to feel like my rectum is filling up as the day goes on. This can feel very painful but I do not get the urge to go.
I'm male 51, fairly fit, dog walk and on feet all day at work and eat healthy stuff. Porridge, fruit, nuts, dried apricots, vegatables all on top of non processed food.
I have tried pelvic floor exercises for last year, more exercise, drink lots of water, massage tummy etc
Any advice will be gratefully received. The surgeon gave all clear from colonoscopy and couldn't answer why I was struggling.
Thanks
Dev
