I've had tender to almost raw pain inside my rectum. I have to use gloves at times to move bowels out. I am on stool softener, silium powder and then introduced miralax. Since using all the miralax worked. I can go most times without using a glove. Yet it's been so painful inside the skin for months. It bothered me. Last week while showering I discovered a hard lump on the outside of my spinchter. My birth mom had intestines removed from I think ulcerrative colitis. She died from the surgery being botched: I'm worried. I have lumps in my thyroid, breasts and lymph nodes that were being monitored for cancer and growth. I've moved 3 times in the last two years due to a divorce, so I've had to start new each time but only saw an endocrinologist. I don't think a gastroenterologist would be who I would see for the lump. It's hard and the size of a hard very small pea. But the intestinal pain and a lump that hasn't moved (thought it was a bowel movement stuck) is on the front right side below my rib and close to the middle of my body. Gall bladder or pancreas? It's not moved. It's been over a week. I am in Seattle again, so I can go a few good medical centers. I have pain I my left kidney often now. It's something I ignore, usually both are tender. I fell years ago and bruised them and they get sore here and there. This is like that but only my left one and it hasn't gone like the front side lump
