I have had the same problem.I feel like your story is mine. I am 78 years old. And recently found out I have a severe torturous: and the 2 sphincter muscles have not been working correctly. I went to a surgeon, and I had a procedure done
Where botots was injected into this finter, muscle and dilation was done. It's a little bit better, and I am also doing active.
Pelvic floor exercises. There has been some improvement. No doctor up until last august has ever told me that I had these two physical problems going on in my colon and sphincter muscles

I am glad to see you comment, @marilynmiller. How wonderful that after dealing with GI problems you finding some improvement. I am hopeful this will lead to more as you continue working with your current providers.

I am not sure who you wrote your comment to when you mention you have had the same problem. What symptoms have you been dealing with, and how has your treatment improved them? What prompted finally getting a diagnosis and on a path towards improvement? Do you take MiriLAX?
