What could this be?

I've been struggling for a number of weeks now. Started with a sharp pain in my belly button and a full feeling over my abdomen, went for an examination and was told it could be a hernia, this did seem to be logical as i had felt sore after a big gym session at CrossFit, however, my symptoms soon went apart from a pinching feeling on my right flank that came and went over a period of a month or two.

Fast forward to today, I've been in agony with excessive wind, loose stooles and constipation for around a week. Ive also noticed that when i pass a stool it burns in my rectum beforehand and afterwards.

Could this be IBS? in hindsight, I've always had issues with my stools being loose- i dont always have the best diet! However, up until this year, i have never had other symptoms- which, this week have left my bedridden!!!

im a 32 male who is overweight

    hi joe, i am no doctor but you either have something like piles or an anal fissure or a tear. see your doctor, i think you need to. watch what you're eating though because this could be upsetting you. try working out if you're stressed out or anything, have you had new foods, something dodgy like a takeaway? that's what your doctor will ask you.
