Proctalgia: Motility, compliance, ; sensation of the rectum are important to fecal continence. Hypersensitivity to distension ; abnormal motility patterns in the rectum are common. Anatomic testing has ruled out structural pathology, but further studies can help distinguish irritable bowel from levator ani muscle dysfunction, sphincter dysfunction, dyssynergia, proctalgia fugax, more. Treatment then follows.

May need a CRS eval: Seems like the GI doc has already ruled out colonic issues. You may have what they call rectal spasms. There are treatments for this to ease the discomfort. Head back to your pcp to discuss, but they may refer you to a crs, also know as a colorectal surgeon. They can make further recommendations if needed. Take care!
