Hi Jeanette, I have a pushing then relax type symptom with my rectum. It sometimes feels hard as a rock, and have the spasiums in my rectum. It seems to be more when i sit or lay down, however there are days where it is there all day long. I don not have any pain, just rectum spasiums. What were your symptoms like with your bowels? I am wondering if this is something i may need to investigate. All my colon doctors cant find anything except for rectocele, but i am not sure that is what is causing the spasums. Thanks Tami
