Ok so i posted awhile back with what I thought were phantom pains after having my rectum removed, After that post, I started having other problems. First of all when I had my rectum removed, I started having problems with my bladder and urinating, I did not urinate but a few times a day at first after my procedure(maybe 2 times). As time has went on, I started urinating on myself, when I cough sneeze, holler, moved a certain way, I mean it is all the time, I started wearing a poise pad, I decided this ws from my surgery and that they cut a nerve or whtever, so a few months ago, i started having what i thought were phantom pains where my rectum used to be, There was alot of pressure and pain at times, There was a very strong urge to go,Then i noticed that my urinating issue got worse, i started peeing only half of what i normally would and it was frequently, I had the urge to pee all the time,Now I am having pain and pressure coming from inside my vagina and in where my rectum used to sit, I went and ruled out uti, bladder infection or kidney infection,i feel almost like there is something inside that i need to push out, i feel like i still have my rectum and i am being poked by something inside, I am sitting on a heating pad all the time and I have to force myself to go pee because the feeling of having to pee makes this pain /pressure worse, I am so afraid, I have a dr making me an uriologists appointment but I was just wondering if this sounds normal to anyone, or if anyone else has experienced this after losing thier rectum, or if any of you think this might be related to nerve damage? I read something on the internet about PUDENDAL NERVE , it sounds like what i have to a tee, but then again I am scared to death that maybe it is cancer somehwere down there, AlsoIt is only really affecting the left part of both my vagina and where myrectum used to sit, or I only feel it on that side of me, Please please if you have any information about what i am going threw please send me something back, I cant stand this anymore, I am so scared.
