Rectal chronic pain

Women's health
1

Hi - I have had been suffering with chronic stabbing pain in rectum for over 8 weeks
Prior to this I had a urethra dilation/ cystoscopy as microscopic blood urine - bladder normal
Ultrasound of lower/ upper abdomen normal
Prior to this severe lower abdomen pain - resolved within 2 months
Last week I had a sigmoidoscopy - as the probe moved to the bend the stabbing pain in rectum was excrutiating - even with gas/air and had to be stopped
I was told could be scar tissue from previous surgery - c sections 13/ 16 years ago

Saw a pelvic floor therapist and only found some dense tissue
Awaiting MRI Scan
Prescibed amitrypline
Discussed HRT
I am 53 - post menopausal 2 years
Any suggestion or advise please
