Chronic rectal tenesmus.
I have a chronic debilitating sensation that I need to move my bowels. They cannot find what’s causing this, and there is no treatment for the symptoms. Is there anyone else out there with these symptoms?

Correct.
Also, the messages were supposed to be a reply to mmalone1804 who started the thread. I'm not sure if I replied to them or just added a comment in the thread/ post.
Can you move my post so it replies to them? If they have gotten any relief from the sensation, it would be so welcomed.
I also didn't realize it was not them who asked about tests.
It was you, as a mediator , so I explained way to much to the wrong person and can't delete it.

i too, suffer from this all day everyday and it is so debilitating and isolating..
It is a symptom of my opiate induced bowel
Dysfunction.
Yes, I too suffer from this very debilitating symptom. The bentyl they give me for it does nothing except give me horrible dry mouth. I am a retired nurse and I have researched this for weeks on end and I have developed opioid induced bowel dysfunction of which rectal Tenesmus is my worst. I am trying desperately to get off the oxycodone but it's not easy and for some reason the tenesmus is worse.
