Does anyone experience anal/rectal discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces? I feel it comes and goes

What have doctors told you? Have you been diagnosed with levator Ani?

Has anything helped?

I have a diagnosis of levator ani syndrome. What helps is sitting on a doughnut cushion and have a specialist womens physio who does internal/external vaginal trigger point therapy which helps with the painful spasms.I also get 3mthly botox injections into the levator muscle and pelvic floor. It doesn't eradicate pain but it certainly reduces the severity of anal and pelvic floor spasms.

I hope you find a treatment that works for you.
