A member asked:

I had si joint fusion surgery 4weeks ago.my rectum is totally numb.i have taken pain pills for years, that is not it.how is this connected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely nerve injury: It seems that nerve to the skin around anus has been damaged. This may have been unavoidable and could be a known complication of this type of surgery. It may improve with time.
