Has anyone dealt with anal stenosis?

Thank you for responding to my post. No one has suggested I try that. I think my sphincter muscle is so damaged from the radiation that nothing will help at this point. My second colonoscopy was a success. The doctor was more familiar with this issue and used pediatric equipment to do the job. I am learning to live with it.

For what its worth, I experienced anal stenosis during and after radiation and into subsequent chemo therapy. Now at 7 months post surgery my stenosis is continuing to get better. Quite disappointing for many months. Hopefully you will experience relief in the coming months. It has been a trying journey that is getting better. God Bless
