herpes?

Hi,

I recently visited the hospital (2 days in a row) for what i thought was perhaps hemmoroids, or some sort of internal swelling that was causing a horrible pressure on my tailbone and sent pains through by butt and pelvis. At the hospital they weren't very helpfull, the first time they didnt even inspect me, he just asked me if i wanted to be referred to a colonoscopist. They perscribed me toradol...which i took once and then realized i shouldnt be taking it because i had an ulcer last year. So, the pain persisted...and when i defecated it was the most excruciating pain afterwards in the area between my vaginal opening and my anus...it would paralyze me for about 15 minutes afterwards. I did some searching on the internet, and decided to buy stool softeners to perhaps ease the pain, and i bought hydrocortizone cream...which did not help, and actually made me feel worse, and irritated my anus more. So i went back to the hospital because i noticed some bumps on and around my rectum, but the doctor said that it wasnt something that he could cut off...and perscribed me anusol for the inflammation. Again i tried it, but it stung and irritated the area further. After this, each bowel movement has been equally (if not more) excruciating (afterwards)...even with the stool softeners. Ive now realized that the bumps have spread, and ive noticed some on my labia majora and more around my anus. The pain in my lower back is still persisting, and it shoots through my butt and has now travelled to the upper part of the back of my legs..and sometimes lower in my legs. I read on the internet somewhere that nerve pain in the butt and legs could be a sign of herpes. I have a doctors appointment next week, but i would really like some insight about my condition, and if there is anything i can do for the pain, because i am now afraid to defecate.

please help, thank you. =)

Doesn't sound like the type of lesions you can culture. She mentioned some sort of bump that even her Doctor wouldn't culture. I had a friend with something that sounds VERY similiar to this and it was a cyst growing on the bottom of her tailbone. She said it hurt like hell.

Sounds like you need to be seen at somewhere else.  Go see your gyn today ( next week is too late ) or go to a planned parenthood type clinic.  You need tested for yeast and bacterial infections. You also need these lesions cultured for herpes.  

I hope you get answers and relief soon!
