Always difficult based on a description but here goes.
For about a week I have had a sort of ache mainly around my perineum area. Sometimes it feels like its in my testicles , other times in bottom. I also feel an ache in my bum cheeks and sometimes down the back of my legs. I am 62.
I had my prostate checked about 9 months ago it was normal. I have no blood in my wee or poo and dont feel ill but the ache is a bit like having a mild headache in your butt ! I have had the odd pile and I had an anal fissure as a child.
I spoke to the gp on the phone and he suggested taking ibubrofen for 3 or 4 days. I have taken 2 twice a day for 3 days and maybe ( I think ) its got a little less achy
So, I did the dreaded googling and nothing exactly fits the symptoms except maybe Prostatitis, Levator ani syndrome, Pelvic floor dysfunction ,Pudendal nerve entrapment or am I thinking too much !!
So is it worth going to a physio first, would they be able to diagnose anything
Feel free to offer other ideas or comments..
