Rectal pain not just with bowel movement

Hi all

Really hoping someone can help. I’ve been having rectal pain occasionally when opening bowel like a hot poker stick being put up that shoots me off toilet. With othe vowel changes and things.

However yesterday I noticed (I’m in middle of flare) that while I was walking I was having the same pains in rectal as if someone’s got a stick up there and it just shoots up?

Anyone else have this? Can it be endo?

I’m waiting for my lap but really nervous they won’t check everywhere ?
