Evening All Hope Someone Can Shed Some Light On A Prob I Have

[alinic]

I have pressure on my bottom, no piles no injury but sore to stand and sore to sit? No changes to bowel habits etc, no other health issues did have sciatica last year but fine now but is very much like pressure and help?

Hi alinic

How long have you had this? Have you sat awkwardly lately or for a long time on a not particularly comfortable seat?
Sciatica last year? Maybe slightly returned as it does once you have it. Do you have any cream or gel you can spread on the area thats hurting?
I would go to see your GP if it persists this week and see what they think.
Sometimes our body tells us we slept awkwardly so could be just a tweak.
Does your pain run up your lower back too ? As I said could be nothing or just a slight nerve tweak.

Good luck and hope you get better x

Could be another nerve tweak or a bit of a muscular twist. I echo previous advice :)

Not sure what you mean by "bottom."
Do you mean the the large muscles upon which you sit or do you mean the very specific area "inside" your anus?

You comment of "no piles" leads me to believe that it is inside the anus that is causing the problem and that has nothing to do with sciatica or "nerve tweaks."

Depending upon your reply.....Google Proctalgia Fugax.......that might be a consideration .

Thanks for all your replies, thanks squad as well, sounds very much like anal pain, sore when sitting but is okay when I am on my feet. And it doesn't go away as in every time I sit etc and the pressure is worse when I go to stand but once up and moving its okay, and if I run, its sore also(dont run that much, just to get the heart pumping lol) , so not much to o about it?

[Sqad]

Well...there you go alinic......it certainly sounds a likely diagnosis.
I won't add to that as you can Google the details.

Any chance this could be PILONIDAL SINUS ?? Had this myself several years ago, symptoms seem very similar.

Is it also definitely not piles?

I went to see GP a few times due to blood, pain, pressure etc... and a few different ones had looked and felt up there and said no, no piles.

I went for a flexible sigmoidoscopy (consultant had ordered independently to that) and they found 6 if I remember rightly!
