butthole numbness

[Al1118]

for about a week now I’ve experiencing numbness in my butt hole like there’s something there but there’s not, i’ve been living with IBS, my whole life. And dealing with constipation for years due to painkillers, But never had this sensation before. At the same exact time my butt bones have a ding pain.

I would see a doctor and get it checked out, numbness in that area should not be ignored

Numbness is not normal anywhere in the body. Please ask your GP what they suggest as it could be due to straining so much you have temporarily caused some nerves to cease up. I say temporarily because I get numbness in another area of my body which comes and goes and is related to a neurological issue I have...

Another potential reason to look into could be connective tissue problems

This is a massive red flag 🚩

Go to the ER.

It might be nothing, it might be something innocent, or it might be something serious like cauda equina syndrome (rare, but needs urgent attention).
