I have had the feeling like a balloon for 3 years, and the above surgeries were an attempt to find the problem.
Brief Answer:
Can be coccydynia or nerve root compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The feeling of sitting on a balloon between rectum and vagina can be due to inflammation of coccygeal joints or due to nerve root compression at the level of lower spine. This can be diagnosed after an MRI scan of the lower spine. If it is painful then a hot compress and anti inflammatory pain killers can help. You can also start taking methylcobalamin supplements and see if it helps.
Do consult a neurologist for a detailed evaluation.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
