Currently going through the second episode of this.
I first got it before and after a hernia operation in 2011.
This was a good ten years after I had the original proctectomy and I had been doing well until then.
It seemed to settle down apart from some daily twinges if I stretched too quickly, but I then went back to being active, fit, healthy until about three weeks ago, when it all flared up again.
I'm told it could be one of many things. A trapped nerve, a version of pudendal neuralgia, it could be levator ani syndrome or I could have simply got coccydynia from all the cycling I have done over the past eight years.
Right now it's positively very irritating and getting me down too. Mix of itching, hot and cold feeling, feeling of pressure or a lump. Standing and walking give a bit of relief as does ibuprofen gel.
Again doctors tell me it's age, scar tissue not stretching, plus the above. Seeing a couple of physios, but I guess things like coccydynia, levator ani and pudendal neuralgia are going to be just as bad in scar tissue and surgically altered muscle as usual, if not worse!!
My sympathies, because I'm going through similar (again)!!!
