Shooting pain through vagina and anus

[sharpshooter]

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.

Have read all the comments exactly like d pains am going through but I need someone to help me with an answer,  cos anytime the pains comes up,oh my God I always feel I have one sec left. The pain is from my abdominal through to my vaginal down to my anus.and it only lasted for few minutes. And it's all started after I gave birth to my first child.

I have the same problem every time I am on my period before I got on the pill it was worse but now that I am on the pill I still have pain shooting up my butt and I thought the pill helps all the pain but it seems like it only helps the cramps

I'm 21 years old and I have been experiencing this since I was like 14, I googled about it alot but I found nothing similar to this strange pain but only this page, its happening to me right now I'm on my period its really killing me and I can feel it coming, the same exact feeling all of you described but I wanna add that it gets more intense "sometimes" if I try to hold gases, and when I'm setting down so I stand up immediately I really hate it when it occur when i'm around people i dont want them to see me it literally is unbearabl .. anyway I don't know what to do I'm really fed up with this!

Thank heavens I found this forum. I have been having these pains for a few years. I noticed they always come in the weeks prior to my period. I am at work now and having one so I decided to finally google "shooting pain in pelvic/anus" and found this link. Thank you!!!

This is called levator Ani syndrome....it is spasm of the pelvic floor..believe me. I was​ in the emergency room with this and 3 specialists did not know.  Finally found the answers when I went on a discussion forum online and I took this information to my urogynecologist and they sent me to a pelvic floor physical therapist. The reason you're having so much pain is because the muscles are super tense in your pelvis and you have to find a way to relax them...sit on a tennis ball ...take a muscle relaxer do not do kegels !!!but there's​ is so much more    fascial muscle release    there are also excercises you can do.. look it up and it will give you the info and do physical therapy.. it is also called proctalgia fugax
