The pain and sensations I have: pressure - like you would feel with a UTI and the feeling that my insides are going to fall out - probably similar to women who have dealt with a fallen bladder. I also feel the pain at the clitoris. None of this affects intimacy nor do I have pain during intimacy.

This is fairly constant with a week or less a month where I feel normal again. The GYN told me everything is where it's supposed to be. She did a little experiment - she wanted to know if the pain I felt was noticeable when she touched certain areas - the uterus and bladder. Both caused the same pain I experience.

As far as my bowels - that's a hard one. I have had bowel problems since I was an infant. I had 2 to 3 feet of intestines removed by the time I was 2 years old (no nerves in that section). Since I was about 12 (?) I have had a problem with needing to go but not being able to pass "it". This was not related to constipation but to muscle spasms. To this day I still run into this problem but I have found Klonopin relaxes the muscles and allows me to go.

I don't know if any of this makes sense or helps but if you want any more information just let me know.
