Your symptoms sound like you have some constipation going on, where your waste is not passing as quickly as it should.  If waste sits in there, it will get to smelling.  When you did pass waste the other day and it hurt, it was probably one of two things going on:  Your waste had enlarged from piling up and it hurt going out, or you have developed a little hemorrhoid.  A hemorrhoid is when the tissues puff up from straining, and they can hurt and itch like crazy when you go.

Let me give you a quick fix on the pain when going.  Get some KY jelly and when you wipe, use a damp tissue with some of that squirt on there, and it won't hurt so much.  Also, let me answer the question about digestive enzymes, which is no, they wouldn't make things worse for you.  I suppose there's a chance it's "cleaning you out," and your symptoms are only temporary.

But I would hazard to guess you've got constipation, and a sure-fire way to make that better is three things:  Drink extra water, exercise regularly, and eat higher fiber foods daily, like salads or Cheerios or fresh vegetables.  The water is probably the most important thing you can do, because it keeps you from getting too dried out, which causes constipation.  

As for any hemorrhoids you might have, until you get your digestion straight, you can put KY jelly on there after you shower, it prevents chaffing, or you can even get some Preparation H ointment and put it on there a couple times a week, it shrinks them up.  But do post back if you don't think you're constipated or if the ideas here don't help.
