What Can I do for rectal pain and pressure?!
Question: I was diagnosed with IBS 3 years ago but over the last 12 months my symptoms have got really bad.
A few weeks ago I started passing blood while trying to make bowel movements,sometimes i didnt actually make a bowel movement just passed blood,this lasted for 3 days
and hasnt happened since,I went straight to my DR who took blood tests and a stool sample,they all came back ok.My GP has refered me back to a gastroenterologist for futher investigation and to check for IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which my grandmother suffered with.
Over the weekend I have had sever pressure in my rectum and also sharp stabbing pains which woke me up from a sound sleep,also my stomach pains have got alot worse and more frequent than normal,I have made an appointment with my GP for this on Monday.
I was just wandering if anybody knows of anything I could do to ease this pressure and pain in my rectum?
Thanks in advance for any replies :)

I believe the only thing you can do is wait for your results from your Dr. Are you constipated? If so, that would definitly cause alot of pain in your abdomin and rectum. Try taking a couple of Tylenol to see if that relieves the pain until you see your Dr. The blood may be caused by pushing too hard. Also, your Dr. is referring you to the Proper Dr. He will have all your test results, by the time you get into seeing him.Wish you the best of luck
