What to do if i have pain around rectal area i was wondering if l5 s1 nerve's travel's to rectal area ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor for: an examination, lots of things can cause this. The rectal area involves the S1 to the S5. Much closer to your anus involves the S4 and S5 nerve. With the coccygeal nerve supplying sensation to the skin on top of the coccyx.Your symptoms maybe unrelated to your spine. If you have changes in your bowel/bladder function, or numbness over your anus/buttock area, then go seek care right away.
