Any pain that seems to be in the area of the rectum, makes me leary of abscesses, but this is different. The pain is
in the left gluteus, into the bend of my
hip, as well as the rectum. Seems that sitting worsens things, and I have been trying to sit/lie to my right to accomodate, but the pain never entirely goes away. The pain is not the same as an abscess, not as severe, and there is not the feeling of swelling, like there is with an abscess.
