A member asked:

Had sibo. i've gone to the bathroom normally for a month but my lower gi muscles still hurt after a bm and if i walk a lot. what can i do? will i heal

Likely: If you have had Small Bowel Obstruction but now can go to the bathroom it is unlikely the cause. IBS can cause these symptoms. Please see your doctor for a close follow up. Your doctor knows you and your tests and will be able to provide the best care for you. Good luck.
