Bad cramps in my butt! Advice please!

[fateful_one]

Okay, this is gross but I need advice. I have been having these bad cramps in my friggin pooper/beneath my tail bone. They started a couple of months ago and seemed to relate to menstral cramps, but now I am not so sure. I seem to get them much more often now and they last throughout the day, and they get really, really painful just before a BM. It feels like I have a charlie horse in my ass! :eek2: My only other symptoms are constipation and a cramp/stitch in my left side that has been coming on with only slight exercise. Any ideas here? Anyone had this butt cramping before?
Thanks!~

Hmmm. If it really is cramp, and there is no other reason for it, like a fistula/fissure/etc, do you have a ventolin inhaler... Or know someone with one who wouldn't mind you having a couple of puffs.

My hubby gets a real cramping pain in the bum, enough to make him hyperventolate, and often finds going to the toilet helps. What worked better is a puff of ventolin. It stops the muscles spasming, in the lungs and it seems elsewhere. It is a recognised condition: proctalgia fugax. Our GP was happy to prescribe him a ventolin of his own even tho it isn't a recognised treatment for it. Hubby found it by accident whilst browsing the web, as you do.
