Hi everyone,
Been struggling with light symptoms for around 9 months which are progressively getting worse. Not a huge amount of pain, only sharp burning sensation on left side next to rectum, on inside of buttock that comes and goes and is worsened when sitting for long periods. I am also suffering for lack of blood flow to penis and scrotum, leaving them shrivelled up when flaccid and tingling scrotum / tip of penis (at worst a 2/10 in pain) - unless I am sitting on the toilet - they return to normal in this position, and retract one I stand up again. I am suffering from lack of libido as a result - I can still get erections however they can be painful and the few nocturnal erections I have often wake me up due to slight burning pain.
I also have worsening pain in my left hip (hip flexor, and internal groin) as well as lower back pain (and obvious inflammation approx 3-4cm left of my vertebrae around the start of my hips.
I think these could be linked to entrapment of the artery and nerve - I am based in the south of england and would like some advice on what to do to get this fixed and some recommendations on who to see. I understand outcomes are best before symptoms become debilitating.
Thanks
