Shooting pain through vagina and anus
I have sharp shooting pains through my vagina and anal area. They only last a few seconds. The build and peak like labor pains. Say I'm in the kitchen and I'll feel it coming on so I have time to brace myself. I'll set down whatever it is i'm holding and get ready. I have to cross my legs, bend my knees, hold on to something, clench my body tight, and try to breathe. Thank God it only lasts a few seconds. My 14 yr. old son witnessed it yesterday and tried to call 911. I kept signaling him not to. I knew it wouldn't last long. My gyno. didn't understand me when I tried to explain it to her. What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this kind of unbearable pain? If the pain lasted even a min. I feel like I would just pass out and die from the pain. Honestly, it's worst than labor pains. I never know when it's going to occur. And when it does happend, I have to be standing to get through it, I can't be sitting. I've also noticed that after the pain passes I'm out of breath and dizzy. What is going on? What should I be tested for? Also, I've had a stabbing pain on my right side of my stomach under my rig cage. It seems to move around the area. Cannot take a deep breath in or yawn without tremendous pain. Does anyone have an idea about what that could be? Thankyou ahead of time to those who respond to my questions.
Hi sharpshooter:)
I am having the same problem. I have noticed it is gradually getting worse. One other thing I have noticed is the way I sit now.
I used to sit normally, but now I have been sitting further forward and bending over. Typing at a low coffee table. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
It is very painful, and scary, and just like you it only lasts a couple of seconds.
Who is going to be the first to go to the doctor, I have been thinking about it. Maybe it will be me.

I have had this pain off and on for 3 years now. I have been tested for endometriosis and other STD's. All negative. My GYN has come to the conclusion that i have cysts on my overies and it is just the leakage that is causing the cramping and pain. That may be true, but why does my anus hurt? I feel like i am being stabbed with a knife! I went through child labor with no meds and this is comparable. I was looking on the net tonight and have come up with a couple of things I would like to take to the doctor. Anal pain: Proctalgia Fugax. They say it occurs in men and women and the cause is unknown. To help deal with the pain they say to sit on the edge of the bath tug, sit on a tennis ball or just apply pressure. Sit in a hot bath or apply ice. Or take a mild pain killer, but since the pain does not last too long, this may not be effective. The vaginal pain may be something more deep inside such as pelvic inflammatory disease, problems w/ the uterus, endometriosis, pelvic mass, bowel or bladder issues, scar tissue or ovarian cysts.
I know I need to get to the doctor soon, but i don't know which way to go. Is this a gynocalogial problem? An intestinal problem? Any comments would be appreciated! Kindest regards to all.

Sounds like something that happens to me,... it comes and goes, i only ever get it thru my vagina. The 1st time it happened was over 2yrs ago....i couldn't breathe or move it lasted for afew min's aswell...that was worst pain i've ever felt. Sharp stabbing pain right thru the middle up level with my belly botton. Since then i can get it once or twice a month, other times i dont get the pain at all. and most the time the pain is only just bareable. I usually just sit or stand depending on level of pain and grin and bare it. I dont have any children and when i seen the doctor about it she said i might have a slight case of endometriosis, and that was after i had test down, she said sometimes endo doesnt show up! Afew of my friends have endo and even tho it took time they are now preg and also i was preg early this yr (lost it) and think i may be again now!
ooh, i have the same thing, It stops ya right in your tracks. I was in the store one time walking with a friend, and omg she was like are you ok? i felt like my whole inside tore or something cause the pain was soo sharp. Also just happened earlier as well. I'm scared to go to the doctor! =0| I hope there is some sort of anser for this for all of us, as to why it happens and what it is exactly..
My friend and I both experience a pain like you have described during mestration only, that we actually refer to as "labor pains" because that's the only thing we could think to describe it as...ironically enough we've both never had children. I'm not sure what it is, but something with the period cycle seems to trigger it for both of us.
