Occasionally i have difficulty opening bowels and pass a small amount of hard stool shortl followed by sharp anal pain and then a larger softer stool ?

Bowel: Try using stool softener regularly for a few weeks. You could be having an anal fissure. The first stool coming out is usually harder. If symptom is persisting you need evaluation by a doctor.
