Could it be hemorrhoids? Try getting more hydrated with water and lay off caffeinated beverages. Stay away from gluten, too. Just a suggestion.0

If it is not related to hemorrhoids, there is a procedure called a nerve block which might help. Please ask doctor about that, or any other potential relief.0

Have they done a physical exam and looked? Even though my husband didn't have cancer, he had an area of dysplasia removed, and he developed a fissure. It was the most painful thing that he has ever experienced.
I would suggest going to a board-certified colorectal surgeon who has lots of real life experience with rectal cancer patients.
I had APR surgery for my rectal cancer, and I have a one small "tender" spot that has never gone away even 4 1/2 years after the surgery. Did you have radiation? That pain could be scar tissue from the radiation. Best wishes to find the answer.0 -
Sometimes scar tissue and other side effects can cause issues like this.0

I don’t know which surgery you had, but I had APR surgery almost 5 years ago and still have pain when I sit for too long. My surgeon says it’s from scar tissue.0

My doctor told me that if there is bleeding, there could be cancer, so I would definitely have it checked out. I made the mistake in the past to skip that checkup which caused me to have no symptoms, but a dx of colon cancer.0
