What Causes Pain While Passing Stool Despite Taking Metamucil?
It hurts so much when I try to poop. I have tried things like Meta Meucil and I have drank a lot of water but the poop won t come out. When I do try to poop it hurts so much and 2 days ago I pooped and I felt much better right afterwards but it returned the day after. It hurts to walk/stand up for long periods of time as well.

Hello
This is either a hemorrhoid or an anal fissure (tear) problem and you can try cortisone cream for now along with a stool softener like Senocot but if it doesn't resolve in a few days you need to have a doctor look at it
