Hi again,
I’m just reviewing the posts from last month. I have since had the caudal injection and my back pain has improved about 50-60%. I’m grateful for that. The surgeon has mapped out a plan, but does not think that the surgery will relieve any of the rectal pressure and urgency. As soon as I’m upright, I feel the strong need to eliminate, but nothing is there, aka Tenesmus. It goes away when I’m sitting or lying down, but that’s no way to live.
You mentioned that your stenosis caused rectal issues. Can you be more specific, and did your surgery correct the problem?
