Wow ! I thought I was the only one with this problem ! Mine immobilize me to at times. I can't even walk or talk and pray I reach the toilet in time. Glad I found this page, I feel so much better knowing their are others with this same issue.
Mine does that too sometimes and so far the only thing that works for me is taking a muscle relaxer. I really wish I knew what it was from mostly people say could be hemorrhoids which I have so it's possible but OMG does it hurt when those spasms start.
sitting to long
On one of the most painful nights, I pased out and had my adult son find me in the hallway naked from the waist down. The best method for me is very hot water but it takes such a long time to run the water and fill the tub, I take a very hot wet towel, I have used the mirowave at times, I put a bath towel on a closed toliet seat and then the hot towel, I make into a ball and sit directly on my rectum, pressure and heat are the only thing that will make it pass quickly. My dad would use ice cold suppositories that he kept in the refrigerator which seemed to work for him. For me it's the towel as hot as I can stand. I have a friend who while in the car will sit on her clenched fist, with the pressure helping her. My heart goes go to all of you.
Had it as a kid here and there (maybe 15 times total for 2 seconds or something) and as an adult maybe twice. Second time just happened to me today and lasted about 3 minutes and even that was bad. AND.....I eat A ton of bread directly prior. Also interestingly enough had popcorn last night as well.
Have you heard of "proctalgia fugax". My son experienced these bouts of sharp pains up his anus throughout his child hood and was diagnosed with this condition.
and have done for a couple of years.
I feel it coming slowly and then about 20min later its agony. Usually at night. It lasts an hour or 3 sometimes. I find myself stretching and holding my arse open trying to get rid of it like cramp in the leg. I sometimes sit on the bog even when i dont need. i thought it was milk and dairy but sometimes it just happens without that. i still dont know the cause :-(
OMG!!! i have these same pains in my nether region, it only seems to happen to me when im on the pot, or sitting down, never standing. and your right it completely demobilizes me like you were saying then everything is OK. this has not happened for quite a while, the only reason i am on here is for my 3 year old. One night were sitting on the couch he all of a sudden said daddy ouch and raised hit bottom of the couch so i asked him and he wouldn't tell me the truth but i had a hint what was wrong so i told him how daddy used to have pains there, and feeling more comfortable with me about it he told met he truth. he does eat a lot of cheese, so now i am going to change all of our diets beginning on jan 1st lol. thanks for all the post fellas and fellets i will catch you on the flip side.
Same occasional sharp pains. although mine seem to appear when i have had a bit of anal play, and only seems to radiate from my anus to my lower intestine. sorry to have grossed any of you out. but its honest, my insurance kicks in this Jan. and im worried that this might be more than something occasional treatable with some pain reliever. Soooo i decided to go to a gastroenteritis to actually know for my self for sure.
Keep you all poasted
I get this occasionally as well. It almost always happens in the middle of the night. In addition to the pain, I notice that I almost always have a lot of gas that needs to be released at the same time. What has me concerned is that when this wakes me up I always have an erection which makes matters worse and also makes me concerned about prostate. Does anyone else get these symptoms as well?
Maybe your choice of lifestyle has caused your anal pain. You should eat healthier and go easier on your anus.
The pain is called Proctalgia. You can read lots about it on the internet. Sometimes its caused by irritable bowel syndrome if you need any more help on this please contact me.
I have the same pain but I highly doubt its an STD. The STD diagnosis sounds like a copout and I know my pain is not STD related. Its my unprofessional opinion to rule that out. Especially if your Dr didnt even test you! sheesh
I don't care what anyone says...popcorn, peanuts, corn, uncooked veggies can bring raging hell to those who suffer from diverticulitis.
People often miss the correlation because if you eat peanuts or popcorn along with other foods you may not experience any pain or it may be only slight.
But, eat popcorn or peanuts on an empty stomach and wait a day. (I dare ya) If the pain increases then it almost certainly is diverticulitis.
I've been diagnosed with Diverticulitis in the past and I always felt the pain on the lower left. I was shocked to find out the pain can go as far south as the rectum. It's also confusing as the pain seems to be located just around the prostate which can cause a lot of men to think it's a prostate problem.
Even if it's not that bad, even if it is only occasional pain, don't eat those items. Over time it will only get worse. It will become increasingly irritated and pockets will form if they aren't forming already. do yourselves a favor and don't eat peanuts and popcorn. The carnival is over-
It's a very unnerving/unnatural pain. I describe it as "very wrong and very alarming". One's first thought when feeling it is colon cancer or some kind of terrible blockage.
I just had colonoscopy and CT scan for this very symptom. They claim I have a "mild" case. If this is mild I don't want to live to experience severe! Brutal pain. It's like someone shoved the handle end of a baseball bat about 6-8 inches in and is trying to pull it back out incrementally.
What you are feeling in the waste working it's way through the part of your colon that has irritation/ diverticuli. If you choose to ignore the warnings and keep eating the food mentioned above, you may find yourself bleeding, symptoms worsening and signing up for surgery to remove the damaged section of colon.
I can live without peanuts, popcorn and raw foods....and this miserable condition!Best of luck-
