Bubbles in my butt?

Sorry for the title... I just couldn't think of another way to describe what I've got going on.

I've got, what feels like, tiny air-bubbles (or the feeling of), at the base of my spine below my tail-bone, on the inside. It's not painful in any way, but it feels like there are air-bubbles migrating somewhere. I don't have 'gas', and I'm not constipated, and I don't have any colon, intestine or digestive problems (none that I know of anyway).

Feels like: a small electric toothbrush (a very, very low-power electric toothbrush mind you) INSIDE me, at the base of my spine/tail-bone, somewhere in my intestine(?). It lasts for about 60 seconds, then goes away for a minute or two, then starts again and lasts for another 60 senconds'ish.

I'm having difficulty putting what I'm feeling into words, and an even more difficult time comprehending what it actually might be. I'm not sure if this is even the right forum for this, but as it feels like gas/air-bubbles, and it feels like it's intestine/colon related, I figured I'd start here.

As I said, it's not painful, but I don't want to leave this and then keel over in a month because I have cancer or something of the like.

Does anyone has any suggestions as to where I might go to figure this out, or who I might talk to to diagnose this?

It sounds like a nerve problem, which causes this type of sensation.  I'm not sure if you need to see a Neurologist or a Gastroenterologist, but start with one and go from there.
