Hello esteemed colleagues, I'm after a diagnosis!
For about a week I've had what I'd describe as an 'achy rectum' ... but since I have very little rectum, I assume it's the pouch! Its quite low down towards the anus and not in my abdomen.
Constant pain level is probably a 1 or 2 but after I eat and the pouch fills up it's more like a 3 or 4. Then when I'm on the toilet, it can be 5 or 6. There is increased urgency associated with the sensation.
I don't think I have any other symptoms. Output is with in the normal range of consistency. No blood or anything.
My first thought was I had hit the seeds/nuts too hard. This has happened in the past where my pouch seems to get irritated by the sharp edges, but it usually settles down within a day or so. This feeling is persisting on a slow upward trajectory.
Next step is to see doc, but would love your thoughts.
Thanks.
