Hello.  I had a hysterectomy 1 year ago due to pain in my lower left stomach and back.  I also had very heavy menstral bleeding.I am 50 years old.   I am still having the same pain after a year.  I went back to the doctor, they did test and determined that it was muscle related.   To me it appears to be associated somehow with my bowels.  When I go, my stool is usally wrapped  in mucus or small hard like pellets.  Some times Ill have a normal stool.I have also had a colonoscopy and a sigmoidoscopy,  whicChatDoctore out normal.  Now the pain happens after I use the bathroom.  What could this be?

As per the history you have provided this looks to be a case of IBS meaning irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to undergo the following tests
