Does anyone else get bad abdominal cramping and pain shortly after bowel movements ?

After my endo surgery I did physical therapy, this was one of my symptoms too. The endo had attached to my bowels. My therapist said to use some sort of foot stool to raise your lower body while you're on the toilet. It helps relieve the pressure and cramping. Propping your feet up and not being a sitting L shape on the toilet.
