Dear Sue, I also have the same symptoms as you. I am American and living in the Uk where the health service is really not one that i trust. I also have pressure in the rectum that makes me feel like going to the bathroom all the time. I can't relax during the day or sleep at night. Is there anything you have learned about this that might help me? By the way what kind of pain medication are you taking?
