Rectal pain: If the anorectal pain is due to a significant rectal fissure and you are in severe pain, I doubt that your physician will sanction any colon procedure until the situation is resolved. Also if there's any chance of residual impacted stool,taking a potent laxative may produce severe intestinal cramps.Try warm applications and anusol to the anus;use glycerin suppositories for bm's, colace (docusate sodium) for softene

Don't worry so much!: You already had the most difficult part of the most difficult part of the exam, a manual disimpaction. You should go through the rest of the exam in a breeze.
