What Is The Cause For Radiating Pain In Tailbone And Sore Rectum?
Question: About a month ago, I went through a four day stretch of very painful bowel movements. The pain was a stinging pain, and went away immediately after finishing. The stool was streaked with blood during this four days. It subsided, and no more than a month later, I notice these two skin flap things around my anus. Shortly thereafter, I began to experience a very sore rectum, beginning 30 minutes after a bowel movement, and lasting hours. The pain radiates into my tailbone. Is this just hemorrhoids? I've never encountered them before so it's been more than terrifying to experience so much pain.
I suppose it doesn't hurt for you to know that I've struggled since a child with bloody stools, and realized I can't eat any nuts or seeds without experiencing painful and bloody stools.

I have been eating tons of fiber rich foods, the problem is the fiber is making me want to have too many bowel movements. I was up for four hours and had to go twice. After the second time I stood up and felt a sting, sat down and wiped and there was a quarter sized pinkish orange on the toilet paper. My rectum feels swollen, but the pain is actually directly behind my anus, more between my tailbone and rectum. The discharge appears to be coming from my rectum. I put toilet paper there and it's causing much less discomfort. Is discharge like this normal with a tear?
Brief Answer:
Yes it is common in tear.
