I was told that the inability to have a complete movement was typical of older men. I have had many BMs a day for years. Today my problem seems to be my difficulty completing the movement. When I have a incomplete movement I then strain and have butt burn. Are there options I could try. Any advise appreciated

Please do not strain! That is dangerous for us especially. Quite a few folks on here have tried Miralax and that seems to help them. I would suggest maybe oatmeal and Probiotic stuff like Yogurt. A few J-pouchers have told me that sqautty potty works for them too, some people are yay and nay about squatty potty but I hear a few yays lol.
Good luck 
You could try peppermint tea,going for a walk or coffee to clear you out.

So I'm having the same issues too lately. I can only pass so much before I have to start straining. It's been like this since November of last yr. I have to angle and that causes a whole new mess in my bathroom. My rectum is extremely tight.
Now I also have constant butt burn. And I have no insurance and I have no idea what to do.
Thank You. With all the expertise on this site I hope others can offer advise.

Maybe you have a stricture??? I think you should see a gastro

Oh dear, I had no idea you had no insurance, I am sorry to hear that! Insurance in the US is a definite must for us. I would suggest seeing a gastro anyway you can.
