Hard stool,a result : of constipation,can cause the above sensation. You must eat enough fiber and drink enough water to have daily ,soft BMs. You may need to add Miralax, if your constipation is chronic &/or caused by current meds or a history of stimulant laxative abuse. Work with your GI doc to remedy this problem once and for all. Good luck.
