Anterior rectoplexy for rectal prolapse with full seven day recovery period in hospital. Had only two/three small bowel movements during the past four weeks. Starting Friday started to have what I would call a fuller bowel movement, small amounts at a time.
Example is I feel like I have to go, sit on toilet, pass one, fell done. Get up, take care of hygiene, walk into another room, and bam, back in bathroom with yet another small amount. This has been going on all weekend. The worst part is it seems like pieces of the bowel are being stored in the right lower quadrant on the area very near anal opening with severe pain radiating down right leg.
I was told there is muscle loss that can be addressed with exercises after I heal. I'm also having a problem at times with not making it to the bathroom in time to pee. It's so depressing and for some reason I'm embarrassed although I know I should not be.
I should call Doctor, but I'm too tired to even drive to his office.
Is this normal at this stage of the game? I guess I want to know if others have had this type of pain?
thanking you in advance.
