Pain after reversal

[joshua1969]

Hello Everyone:
My husband had an illeostomy reversal on February 25, 2021. He is still experiencing rectal pain particularly after moving his bowels. Is this normal? When , on average, will the pain subside? His surgeon has said this is normal. He also suffers from hemorrhoids so maybe this is part of the pain? Any and all advise is welcomed. I am at a loss.
