Hello Friends,
Had take-down surgery 2012, all has gone brilliantly. Lately I have noticed when I bear down for a bowel movement I am getting muscle pain deep in my buttocks and at the top of my hamstrings. Its difficult to pinpoint. I have always had to strain to empty properly. Has anyone had similar issues?
Thanks

I have being straining in the last year and will have to have a small operation for a stricture which is the cause of the straining. I have experienced with the straining some discomfort of the right leg which has produced a swelling of a vein all along the back. I will be talking about it with the surgeon if the straining could have caused this. A spoonful of olive oil early morning before breakfast has helped to make the evacuation much easier for a long time but now it is becoming more difficult hence the need of this op. Evidently straining is never good for us. Hope this can help some way.

Rob, do you think it could be your sciatica nerve? Google sciatica and see if anything sounds like the nerve back there.
Could be @Winterberry I am looking into it. Funny how I often look for connections to the pouch. Possibly not related.
Hi, I'm experiencing similar issues, Also think it still might all be connected, the hernia and the pressure on the nerve from all the straining? How are you guys now? Kr
