Pressure pain in rectum

Does anyone suffer from this. I've had IBD since 2017 and stools always lose. Past few days felt pressure like needing to poo but when I go to loo nothing happens. Pain builds up and need to take paras. Low back pain too.

  1. Yes, very often. I've had Crohn's since 1988 and usually when this happened, to me, it was because I was either having a flare or I had an obstruction or block. I would usually switch to a liquid diet to help my intestines "rest" from food and that makes it go away. I think maybe that is where the pain might be coming from but if it keeps up, I would just check with your doctor.
