Have you ever had butt pain?

Like rectal pain. It's not hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, or constipation pain. I know what those are like and this is not it. This is severe rectal pain. I can barely walk, or sit, or even move without crippling pain. I'm not sure if I need to call 911 (211 for the Europeans.) I can't take anything, because I took an aleve at 11:44 this morning. The aleve didn't help at all. My doctors office is closed, I called already.

What should I do?

Have you guys ever dealt with this?

What helped you?

I havent had it, but if it's that severe, you should call 911, or get to an Urgent clinic (those are usually open til 8pm in the US, and are cheaper than the ER, assuming you can get transport to get there).
