Muscle spasm usually causes strong, dull pain in anal area that lasts for hours after BM , sometimes 24/7 like in my case. Also, poop that comes out can be much thiner in size than normal and it is hard to push any suppository inside the anus. CRS during examination can also with certainty tell if muscle is in the spasm. Also, having trouble
passing gas without straining can be sign of a spasm. All in all, it is hard to miss "the feeling" since it is always accompanied with lasting pain that is relieved somewhat with applied heat or antispasmodic creams.
I hope that your husband is feeling somewhat better !
