A member asked:
Hi i've been told i've got proctalgia but i have no pain i have a knot feeling in my or around my rectum anal area what could it be ibs?

Tell me more...: What do you mean by "knot"? If you don't have pain in your rectum then you do not have proctalgia. Proctalgia is a very painful spasm of some muscles in the pelvis.
