I have this unbearable pain and actually feel it coming on. Night only. Wonder if it is because I take hormone replacement therapy.

I know this is an old thread, but I have had this very same issue for many years, and I think I have found a solution.
Mine comes on usually in the middle of the night, and at the peak (for the worst attacks), I am in such painful agony that I nearly black out. It usually causes me to overheat as well. I have gotten to the point where I can sense the symptoms right away--it comes on with an energized sensation in my pelvic area, followed by deep achy feeling. As it progresses, I feel like I might need to have a bowel movement, but nothing comes, and trying to have one seems to make it worse. Finally, there are intense muscle spasms, which honestly feel worse than labor pains.
Recently I've been doing a couple things that have helped tremendously the last 3 attacks...as soon as I feel it coming on, I use a glycerin suppository, and I do leg pumps (the way that you would for a baby having gas pains). This prevents the attack from progressing, and it resolves much more quickly. At the end, there is always a release of gas, and the attack is over, and I can go back to sleep quite easily, as opposed to usual, when I'm kept awake for about 2 hours for each attack.
Yesterday I only did the leg pumps as soon as I woke up, and it was the shortest, easiest attack ever.
If anyone out there is having similar trouble, please try this. I have not read about it anywhere else on the web. I tried it on a hunch that it might be over-reacting pelvic muscle spasms triggered by colon gas. I'm not a doctor, but I know how desperately sufferers need relief from these attacks.
