Pelvic floor issues/ spasm

Hi,

Wondering if this is normal or not...

I have a lot of pelvic pain/rectal spasms. I feel a heaviness in my pelvis and sometimes have shooting pain. Bowel movements make the pain worse. I had surgery for an anal fissure which has healed, but I had pain and tension before the fissure and it remains now. I find that the perineum is not flat..it's like a hard bulge leading to the anal opening. Is this normal anatomy or do I have some form of prolapse? Anyone have perianal descent with similar symptoms?

Pain is worst when standing and best when lying down on my side.

Thanks

    Neither my surgeon (who is not a colorectal surgeon) nor my pelvic floor physio have mentioned it...could it cause anal spasm/tightness?

    Thanks
