It's tough cause we always have to keep in mind that your takedown was so recent it could just be that you need time. But it's always good to be cautious and observant.  Try backing off the greens and fiber for a few days and see if you notice any changes.  This advice is coming from my experience alone, so just keep that in mind everyone is different.  But i had a rough time and still have a rough time with vegetables/fiber.  They back me up like crazy.  You would think bread and constipating foods would do that, but i do just fine with bread.  Do some pelvic floor exercises daily, but don't over due it.  You only need to do a small amount, the key is doing them everyday not harder or more often.  

These are things you can try, keeping in mind you do have a very real issue that is may be the only cause of your discomfort and pain right now and that is the stricture.  Please keep us posted when you do start to feel better or worse just so we can have the info, it's always nice to see what the ultimate solution was.

Thank you so much. That’s very helpful. I will definitely keep you all posted on what I do and find out.
