Mystery Nightmare Pain

[GasJazuaua]

On 30th December, an area which I thought was my backside suddenly produced a lot of pain so much so that I was shouting out and worried the kids. It felt like my body was going through some sort of spasms. These lasted for about 5 seconds and kept coming and going for half an hour or so. Since then, I’ve had a couple more and had some feelings that the pain was about to start again, but things have generally settled down.
I have had this before a long time ago April 2005 in fact but remember it well as I was at Stansted just about to board a flight. It was nearly as bad as last weeks episode.
I have been to the doctor thinking that it must be something wrong with my backside, as all I can do is hold onto my left buttock tightly, until the pain passes which is right inside somewhere. He gave me an examination which wasn’t pleasant, but found nothing. He has referred me to someone in a months time who may investigate my backside further. I have had a blood test which is okay.
I’ve been thinking more about this. I play football, but in recent years have experienced pain at the bottom of my back on certain days. This goes after a while and I have put up with it as my Dad and Brother also suffer from bad lower backs and believe it may be a hereditary thing. Believe that sciatica has been mentioned for one of them.
They have not experienced the sharp spasm type pains that I have been getting though. I remember many years ago that I hurt the bottom of my spine on a water slide as I exited the shute and landed at speed on a concrete floor with my bum/back first. I remembered there may have been bleeding from the area also.
In all, I’ve have been getting a sharp pain which scares the life out of me as its like a torture when it comes its that painful, and there is no warning and I have no control over.
Please can someone help or advise. Thanks. Pip

Hi, is it like being stabbed inside the bum/anus?Were youconstipated at the time? Sometimes the nerves in the bum can go into spasm and it can be due to constipation.
If that was the case then make sure you drink plenty of water daily,this will help keep you from getting constipated. I have had this same thing and each time I'd been away from home and not been able to go, due to strange loo syndrome,then when I finally went I got the stabbing it's like your bum reminding you to take care of it.lol or we'll make ya suffer.

No, I haven't had any problems with constipation or with my bowels and I haven't got piles or bleeding either.
I have started to keep a record of events in case a picture builds up. Seems to be mostly when I'm sitting down it has happened, but not exclusively. Was sitting in down in an armchair for a while a few days ago and was okay until my son came over and sat on my lap, and it went off then. Wonder if when some pressure is applied that something starts.
As for the stabbing pain, it is so sharp, severe and gripping and makes me sweat it's so intense.

Sounds to me like sciatica. Stabbing pains in the bum and lower back pain. You could of put your back out slightly which has caused you to pinch a nerve. You sound like a sports person and this is very common although any kind of stress on the back can lead to this. The sciatic nerve runs right down the side of the leg so the pain can also be felt here.

Didn’t really know what Sciatica was so I have been looking through the internet. From what I can see, I don’t think it is that. I haven’t got any pains running down my legs, the pain is concentrated in one area. If I was more specific, and maybe everyone’s different, but it appears to be somewhere right when the groove for your bottom starts at the top and ever so slightly to the left of centre. Maybe wrong, but it feels About an inch or two in where I can feel what probably is the bottom of my spine.
On the 30th December, the pain kept coming and going for half an hour lasting 5 seconds for a time. Again it brought tears to my eyes and had me shouting out, it was that intense. Since then, the feelings that I was going into these spasms has died away and I sitting here in no pain wondering what all the fuss was about now.

pip - i am not a doctor - but i have experienced i think the same type pain you have. when i was working at my old job i was severley stressed out - but i dont think that was the cause of it - i was always sitting - and it would come either when i would get up too fast or go to the bathroom (felt like something was stabbing me in the same area you are talking about.). it was so bad i thought it was my hip giving out. as i am only 25 - i thought that was just crazy. also - it was around the time i was gaining a lot of weight...i dont get them anymore though..

a co-worker of mine had similar problems - she had fibrosis in her uterus and they were so big they were pushing out...this was causing her pain...she had to get a half-histerectomy to correct this problem - as it got so bad she could barley walk for periods of time...her legs would simply give out - and her hip would be in severe pain...

hope this helps - i didnt go to the doctor - i dont like them and i dont like western medicine....sorry...just wanted to share my experience..

Just to clarify, I do not get any problems with my legs or hips, just this one small area if affected. There is no hard and fast rules for this but the pain has mostly come when I have been sitting down for a while, maybe half an hour or more, but not exclusively.
