@tmalley2177 @amandaburnett I wish I could be more helpful, but this is not a problem that I have had. My husband had a problem with pain and pressure in that area quite a few years ago. When he went to his doctor the doctor asked him if he had put on weight, which he had, he said the pain was from that! As crazy as that sounds, when he dropped a few pounds it did get better.
If having a bowel movement decreases the pain then it may well be pressure from crowding, particularly if you have gained a bit of weight.
