Hey guys, I've been having this problem for about 2 weeks, I remember because I noticed the problem the next day after I had gotten home from a Skillet concert (best band I've seen live this year, and I've seen like 50 this year). I couldn't have a bowel movement. I felt my anus, and it was closed tight as a drum. It seems that my anus is soft when I don't have to go, but hard when I do have to go, like it's doing the opposite of what it's supposed to be doing. It's like my body has stopped expelling waste. It's also like my body is trying to kill itself by causing a colon burst or something. \ I can go, but I have to use suppositories or take something via mouth. I have tired: Prune Juice Stool Softener w/ Laxatives Laxatives Alone Apple Juice Enema Suppositories Miralax These things have gotten a ton out, but my anus remains closed despite that fact. I am not looking for a way to do anything to the feces, because the feces are not the problem. I need a way to open my anus without using my hands which doesn't even work anyways. Thanks

I remember reading a somewhat similar case, an autobiography by a young doctor in the 1950s, it was really a big deal and really painful for this young child to have a bowel movement, and it turned out to be pinworm (I think). And it could easily be any of 5 dozen other different parasites or bacteria, which we humans are vulnerable to and get from time to time. And this is the perfect example, it sure helps to have a doctor you feel comfortable talking with. Or, if need be, see a new doctor, and just say to them, I'm having a really hard time going to the bathroom. Or write the three or five most important points bullet style on half a piece of paper (doctors often aren't the greatest listeners). Good luck. does not sound like any fun at all.

This is a serious problem you are having! First, make a list of anything you can remember ingesting the day and night of the concert. Include all solids, liquids, and meds--even anything illegal like marijuana, that you may have taken. Then, make a list of what you have used to treat the condition. Then, make an appointment with a doctor. If you don't have a doctor, go to the emergency room. If you don't have medical coverage, you can pay cash or use a credit card. If you can't afford their usual rate, BY LAW ALL HOSPITALS MUST TREAT YOU IF YOU NEED EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP! This law, has been in place for decades, long before BHO, the Clintons, and their cronies foisted the lie on the public that some people couldn't get medical treatment because they couldn't afford it. All hospitals have a charity payment program, or can put you in contact with one, that will help you arrange a payment plan, based on your income level. These charity programs have also been around for decades, so help IS out there, for everyone. You just have to go get it. The condition you describe is definitely serious enough to be an emergency, and yes, it can cause a bowel rupture. This could be FATAL. It can also cause hemerrhoids, and/or anal fissures. These can be painful, and sometimes bleed. I know, I have both. I also have a partially blocking kink in my bowel, that makes bathroom breaks unpleasant, but at least I can go, as it is only a partial blockage. I looked into surgery to fix it, but according to my research, after surgery, scar tissue gradually builds up at the site, and then more surgery needs to be done to fix that. And then more scar tissue builds up, leading to more surgery, etc. It would lead to a shorter and shorter intestinal tract, which would lead to major dietary changes, and possibly even having to wear a colostomy bag. As long as I can go on my own, even with some difficulty, I will avoid the surgery option. Your condition is right at the end of the tract, so it is a different situation. Also, something is causing the valve to seize up, and not function properly. This needs to be fixed to prevent worse problems. Six years ago I was on narcotic pain meds after a hysterectomy to remove cancer. I have had no further problems from the cancer, but at the time, I was in danger of a bowel rupture because the pain med caused the worst case of constipation I had ever had. I used laxatives, stool softener, lots of fruit and juice, including those that normally give me diarrhea. I finally had to take myself off the pain med, because the constipation it was causing was adding to my surgery pain, and it was putting me at risk of a ruptured bowel. It took several months after that for my system to return to my version of normal. You need to see a doctor about this, because it is serious. There are several other possible causes for your situation besides something ingested, that I can think of. You could have polyps, internal hemerrhoids, cancer (hope not), or you may have damaged your anus while at the concert. I don't know anything about you, and won't ask, but some people do engage in anal sex. This can sometimes damage the anus. It might not be noticeable at the time of the event, but the area involved can over night, or over a couple of days, start to swell up, and may even get infected. This can cause the problem you describe, but so can the other causes I mentioned. Whatever the cause, get it taken care of, as soon as possible. Good luck, and remember, we on the spectrum are all: A Different Drummer If a man does not keep pace with his companions, Perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, However measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau

Or, maybe just a good family practitioner or internist with some good common sense. Or your old pediatrician? Any one of these people might be quicker to get in and see than the specialist.

Now, it sounds like you can still go to the bathroom, although with considerable difficulty.

If it becomes where you just flat out cannot go to the bathroom, as questor says in her above post, that's a medical emergency. Worth a visit to the emergency room if need be. Just take a book and be prepared to wait.

Man, where to start here. I have considered cancer, but parents being parents said it was not. I have seem a doctor, mr atkinson (i wonder if he's related to rowan atkinson hahahah) he gave the ideas for the supositories and miralax. I don't have any symptoms of cancer, tho. I had no illegal crap. Dude, look at my avatar. That should tell you somethong.. SomeTHING (screw you autocorrect) about me. No, I have not had anal sex. Again, my avatar. I follow JESUS. I am a man. I'm a virgin as well. The only sex that is right is sex between a married man and woman. Also, divorce is considered adultery. Having sex with someone after you've been divorced and that first person is still alive is adultery. So yeah I'm waiting until marriage. But I can't wait tho :3

I get the impression you don't hide things from the doctor, that's good. Botox is now used to relax muscles in the body that overtension. I know the vocal cords and throat muscles can be treated this way.

If you mean I have unbearable amounts of romantic sexual lust, then yes.
