Anal canal/rectal sensation changing constantly
DOES ANYONE HAVE AT LEAST AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON? PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU.
I have a constant intermittent sensation which lasts a whole day or more, sometimes feels like something on one side of the anal canal, or sometimes feels like a more central bulge in the anal canal. You could say it feels like I’m sitting on a golf ball even when I’m not sitting down. When I do sit, certain chairs sometimes makes it worse — if the chair is too soft it can intensify the sensation, and sometimes if the chair is too hard it can do the same, but recently harder chairs feel therapeutic. I was told this is due muscle spasms. I have been seen by PTs and DR.s who say that I do have tight hypertonic muscles. I even notice they are tight when I am having these symptoms. However, I don’t think the muscles are the source of my sensations. And here’s why:
After about a year, I’ve noticed if I press on a butt cheek with fingers near the butt crack and push it more towards the butt crack, and after 10 seconds I release it… it temporarily alters the sensation I have. It can disappear or cause less of the bulge sensation for a minute or so. Has me kind of curious here because I am realizing this sensation which appears to be exactly in the canal, is actually about 80% not originating in the canal. 1. Is this pudendal neuralgia or does this still fit muscle spasms / hypertonic pelvic floor better? 2. Can the pudendal nerve cause the muscles to spasm tight?
