I have been having a strange sensation feeling in my anus/rectum for the last month....like there is always something there. Most of the time after a BM it doesn't seem to go away and I feel like maybe I can't push all the stool out even if it is soft. I went to my doctor and he did a rectal exam and said everything looked normal but there was stool in my rectum and said to try some Miralax. I did and it caused diarrhea but i still have that feeling. I went to an urgent care doctor because I was so concerned and she thought it could be IBS and referred me to GI doctor. She also prescribed me a small dose of Bentyl to try. I am worried sick and can focus on nothing else but this feeling that won't go away and what might be causing it. Wouldn't the diarrhea have cleared everything out? Why do I still feel like this? No pain in abdomen or bleeding.

I suffer from extreme anxiety about health/body things anyway and this is making me a basket case!

any ideas???

    hi Sarah, if this has not gone then contact your doctors surgery again! you can leave this if you're worried that's unfair. they're chucking medication at this because it beats paying for a scan etc

    contact them and insist on them.
