Welcome to Connect, @shilo. I can only imagine the pain and discomfort you’re experiencing – I’m so sorry!
Let me introduce you to a few members who have talked about low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) or similar symptoms; please meet @coliemore @suemer @lamerex4 @starrlight @maestro. I’m also tagging Mentor @travelgirl. I’m confident they will return more information and insight.
