I cant believe I am writing about this, but then who else am I going to talk to about this!!??

Does anyone have pain in their hernia when they have a bowel movement? I wrote my doctor and she said to take colace. I just got some and it is too soon to know if it will work... I have cut down on the size of my meals and have more meals but- smaller ones and that has seemed to help a bit... If this works it would be great... I am scheduled for an endoscopy in May...If i do feel better with the colace should I cancel the procedure? I am so tired of feeling crummy!!!
