Need more information about this pain. For example, does the pain happen during or after a bowel movement? Is it relieved by flatus? Is is constant or crampy, spasm-like? A complete history and physical exam will be necessary to try to ascertain the cause.
Yes please see a doctor, since your symptoms have persisted.
There are numerous causes and you should definitely be evaluated by a colon and rectal specialist.
This is not normal and you should see either a colorectal surgeon or a gastroenterologist.
