I have had 2 C/S, my last being almost 10 months ago and for the past 3 months or so when i get my period it is really quite painful for the first 2 days but only when i need to relieve myself..whether it be front, back or passing wind...and the only way i can describe it is that it feels like a knife stabbing up my rear end (told you TMI)...so its a really sharp pain...and also across the front of my pubic bone which is more of a..i dont really know what to call it...but it hurts.
This month which is the 4th month of the pain..wasn't as intense this month
And also if i sit down to fast i get the stabbing pain aswell...so i have to ease myself down to sit.
Also the pain comes after relieving myself...its almost as if it hurts my insides to shrink back down...it kind of the only way i can explain it...could it mean that my insides my not have been put back in correctly? Has anyone experienced anythin remotly similar to this??

Yes I have this exact same thing when I am not taking the pill and so does my mother. There is apparently a name for it but don't know what it is. I can find out the name for it. I don't think it has anything to do with your c/s as I know there is a medical condition that its called and its exactly what your describing. I get it for the first few days of my period then it starts to ease off and it feels like a sudden onset of a knife going in your butt literally. My afterbirth pains were exactly the same. It is especially bad when you need to go to the loo for what ever reason. Are you on any contreception? Mine if its the same thing as yours is much better if I am on the pill which I am not as I am ttc. You could try some ponstan its an over the counter analgesia that might help.

Oh my God..Thank God...lol
Emmy that would be great if you could find out the name of it so i can look it up...thank god im not the only one! At least now i know i dont have to go and try to explain that to my doctor.
No im not on any contraception and i havent been since my last bubba..10months...but ive only been having these horrid pains for the last 4 periods.
I will try what you have said for my next period as this one is almost over...and if you can remember the name of what ever it is we have that would be great! Thanx alot

I called my mum and she couldn't remember the name except she did say it was something "ocosis" being the ending.

I then looked it up and found a name called "proctalgia fugax" but that doesn't seem to be related to only when you have your period which mine does and so does your's by the found of things. My mu said thats not the name for what she was told she had.

Apparently there is not treatment as the attacks are so quick that by the time you take something for it it is gone. The only thing I can suggest is ponstan which is also a drug they use for after birth pains and period pain. Ill go look see if I can find the name for it again or else eventually I will ask one of the Dr's at work when I don't have a thousand other people around to hear me ask. What ever it is it bloody hurts that much its awful. Where you off contreception for long before conceiving with your first two? Maybe thats why you have only just noticed it. I only have it when I am not on contreception and its very bad. Some months are worse then others also.

i've had these problems since i first got my periods at about 15yrs old. i've told numerous gp's and no-ones ever told me what it could be or explored it further. i did notice an improvement when i went on the pill, and then when i went off it and fell pregnant i noticed it disappeared.
however since i've had some loss (like a period) after the birth of my child i've noticed it back again. i'm glad i'm not the only one with this. i know for me it can get pretty painful some months and others it's barely noticable.

hmm, i could be wayyy off mark here, but maybe it is worth having a look at some endometriosis info (there is a thread here on BB in the conception section). it could be unrelated, but the stabbing shooting pains is a good tell-tale symptom. mine started soon after a m/c where not all the 'matter' passed and caused issues, so maybe a c/s might inflame the endo?

could be way off, but maybe an avenue to explore...

HTH

I was just looking up what you use ponstan for as emmy said to try that..and i came across endometriosis so i was wondering is that the name for it emmy?

beau_9 · #9 (**permalink**) May 1st, 2009, 03:07 PM

i know in my case the gynae i was seeing thought mine sounded like endo, but i fell pregnant before it could be explored further, but hopefully once i'm all better i hope to have it all looked into for this. so could possibly be for the other girls also.

Endo could be a possibility as is several other things. In my case it is called something that I don't know the name of. Its very common and feels like knives going up your bum. Only first few days of your period comes infrequently doesn't last longer then 20-30secs at the most no warning and it hurts like he#l. Going to the loo usally starts an attack although it happens when not going or needing to go to the loo. Any one with Endo experience this? Or else know the name of it?

I get these pains too but have had them forever. They come and go over a yr, sometimes mild and faint other times they nearly knock me off the toilet seat! lol Sometimes I thnk there is something wrong with me but having read how many of us actually get them, well, I am not worried anymore.

Tweetsta · #12 (**permalink**) May 1st, 2009, 07:52 PM

I read up on Endo and it doesnt really sound like what i experience. But you hit the nail on the head with your last post emmy...I might try and google it somehow..lol..see what i come up with. But if like you said you can find out that would be great.

I got on this internet site about women experiencing anal pain during there periods. Some of the post were pretty funny actually insisting it was wind (absolutely not if only it was that) and lots saying it was called "proctalgia fugax". The name my mum said it was (that no one else seems to know the name or heard of it in any of the one thousand posts). Its bugging me now as when I told my mum I had these pains a few years ago she said she did too and had being to the dr and was told the exact name of it. If only she remembered or the dr was still alive I would go see him. He was a practicing dr up till 6months ago when he suddenly died. This internet site lots of women had being to dr's and none of them said it was this name my mum reckons it is (My mum is a practice manager at a dr's surgery so she knows her stuff). The name Proctalgia fugax was mentioned in lots of posts though. It sounds very similar except its not related to your period and effects men and women.
