Have you started to take fibre? A tablespoon of Metamucil every night.
And do not push hard when you poop.
Yeah I never got hurt like crazy pain fir 10 min straight.
Now I would get chronic aching pain, like a bad stomach ache in my pelvis, but that would be like all day.
After surgery, once in a while, in the morning especially if I drank the night before, I get insane painful spasms, but once I take a huge shit, that’s gone.
See once they removed my sigmoid colon or 10” of it, I lost the nerve feeling that tells you when you need to go. It did come back after a year, but still isn’t perfect, then boom 3 am, my body is like, you are pooping now, lol.
But the pain is gone unlike before and I can eat what I want now, so I don’t mind the trade off, you just get used to the new normal, lol.
