Hi, Kicker.
My problem is that the internal **** sphincter muscle does not send messages to my brain, so, the only way stool passes is when the bowel is too full, and the stool has to be firm enough to force the muscle to open, but, here's the major problem, it will only allow a small amount of stool to pass, and then it clamps tight again. I am unable to empty completely. Soft stool will not pass, at all, and I am miserable, as it makes the nerves in my spine hurt, all the more. My G.I. Doc and I have tried Miralax, etc. but it doesn't solve the issue with the sensory nerves in that muscle.
Hoping my new Spine Specialist will be able to give me some answers on Friday, or at the very least, refer me to someone who can help me.
I'm not Dx'd yet.
Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.
Now, I have to get ready to go out of town for 3 days.
