A few days ago I believe I had a partial blockage or something. That night I seemed to push pretty hard and thankfully things did seems to dissolve and I am going normal again. Since then I have had pain in the pouch especially when I go to the bathroom and also when I sit down or move wrong. I thought it was back pain but believe now that it is in or around the pouch. It aches on the front of my body and the back of my body also. Has anyone experienced achiness or pain from too much straining? Does my situation fit with straining? ----Leftie

Could you possibly have a stricture at the top or bottom of your pouch? That would potentially cause a blockage and/or make things difficult to push out. The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor.
