Hi - I have had been suffering with chronic stabbing pain in rectum for over 8 weeks

Prior to this I had a urethra dilation/ cystoscopy as microscopic blood urine - bladder normal

Ultrasound of lower/ upper abdomen normal

Prior to this severe lower abdomen pain - resolved within 2 months

Last week I had a sigmoidoscopy - as the probe moved to the bend the stabbing pain in rectum was excrutiating - even with gas/air and had to be stopped

I was told could be scar tissue from previous surgery - c sections 13/ 16 years ago

Saw a pelvic floor therapist and only found some dense tissue

Awaiting MRI Scan

Prescibed amitrypline

Discussed HRT

I am 53 - post menopausal 2 years

Any suggestion or advise please
