I'm having some pretty bad anal pain that started a couple of days ago, and it came on out of nowhere. I noticed the area is a bit hard on one side, and it's really painful. It's making sitting and doing any tough tasks really difficult. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I can do about it? I'm pretty uncomfortable and could really use some advice.
