Welcome back, WelshGirl80!

Painful anus can be due to presence of hemorrhoids and/or anal fissures or tears due to passing hard stools.
Hemorrhoids can result either from constipation or chronic diarrhea.
Lower back pain, along with headache, fatigue, muscle pain, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, urinary symptoms are additional complains in IBS sufferers.

Thanks so much for your reply. I've been using cream on the area and also hot water bottles are a god send. I'm seeing my doctor on Thursday, it's been a hard few weeks. I am still taking Fiber gel each day, 3 times a day and they work for me. The pain isn't nice but hopely my doctor can help me out with some info!

Saw my doctor today and he had a look, I;ve got some skin tags and small cuts on my auns. I asked about the buttock pain but he;s not sure about that right now. I am also having a blood test next Wednesday as he seems to think I looked worn out and unwell, I dont feel bad but I will see what the test shows up. Can someone tell me why my left buttocks hurts like hell? Sitting is bad and so is lying down?

Please can someone help me. I've still got the left buttock pain, hip hurt and can't go to the bathroom without help. Why is this happening?

I am sorry. Please have the doctors check you for colorectal cancer. I had the same symptoms and now am stage four. DOn't wait and take this seriously no matter what your age (i am 42 and otherwise always healthy)

I think the last post was uncalled for. I am worried as it is and saying that IS NOT HELPING MATTERS! Sure you are sick, which I am sorry for, but I am not bleeding and my doing to the bathroom fine but the pain is there due to cuts in auns and muscles being pulled. I think it's uncalled for and very upsetting for me!

WelshGirl80,

You asked for advice and thats what you got from Molly, you don't want to know, dont ask, simple as that! You should be ashamed of yourself!

WelshGirl80, are you crazy? You ask a question, then complain when someone advises you that she had similar symptoms and it turned out to be cancer. What is wrong with that? Do you only want answers that reassure you you're fine, rather than someone pointing out the plain truth that sometimes changes in bowel habits can mean cancer? Many people with bowel cancer have no bleeding.

Of course most likely you DON'T have cancer, but you don't know that for certain. Stop being so rude and start being grateful that someone has taken the time and trouble to advise you to get checked out. Molly, even though ill herself, has tried to help you so you don't end up ill like her, but all you can do is moan. As Jill has said, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I see this was first posted in July and the last post is in Sept. I hope she has gone to a gastrologist and been checked out, we all need preventive colonscopies in our life.

Try MSM sulphur from a health food shop.
Take it in powder form, a little to start off with,
to let your stomach get used to it. It has no known side effects and is very cheap, weight lifters often get sore red anus' and it has cured it for a lot of people.
Try it, you have nothing to loose, except a sore anus.
