    Proctalgia fugax

    Hello,

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with this incredibly painfully muscle spasm of the rectum that wakes you from a sound sleep, and can last up to an hour? Any suggestions for relief?

    Wow; I'd never heard of that. Sounds horrible.

    The only help I can offer is to google. Here's an article that suggests a few things you can try.

    I hope you get some relief.

    Symptoms began in JAN02
    - Dx with RRMS in OCT03, following 21 months of limbo, ruling out lots of other dx, and some "probable stroke" and "probable CNS" dx for awhile.
    - In 2008, I was back in limbo briefly, then re-dx w/ MS: JUL08

      Thank you

      for the reply... wishing I never heard of it either. Thankfully, it doesn't happen every day or even every month, but when it happens, it's memorable (a literal pain in the butt)
