Hi MO,
You may not have retorn, but the area may be irritated. I find the looser the stool, the more pain I have... This is beacause when the stool is looser the anal pressure is higher, so I think this causes more spasm and pain. It's very hard to regulate the right amount of Fibre and stool softener. Everyone is different and it may take a while to work this out. Remember what goes in needs to come out! What is Colace? Is that the Us version of Fybogel? I tried Fybogel and it only made things worse! Everything was too bulky and inconsistent, so I switched to Movicol, Vit C and Magnesium. I think it's difficult to always produce the right BM consistency, but the formed soft ones are always better for me.... Now it sounds like it's making your stool too loose, so could you try some insoluble Fibre in your diet which will bulk you up?
