Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

This can be caused by deep perianal or ischiorectal abscesses or neuropathy. You should see surgeon and neurologist, do xrays and ultrasond to rule out abscesses which should be drained if required. Till that, try to sit on soft materials, take ibuprofen and rest.

Wish you good health. Regards
