Proctagia Fugax.

[shirley64]

I have been suffering with pain from back passage for a while now and have been told that this is Proctalgia Fugax. After looking this condition up i have seen that people have complained of occasional attacks but i appear to be suffering this constantly which is causing great distress. I am also waiting to go for an enoscomy in the next few weeks..I would be very grateful for any advice offered...

Hi, I know how u feel I get this about once a week and it is horrendous, and often it just comes on in the middle of the night when i am asleep! The only thing that works for me is to take 2 Buscopan tabs and pain killers and either sit on the toilet to pass any wind etc, or sit on hot water bottle. Usually it goes after about half an hour. Wish you well, x

My goodness you must feel so fed up being in this pain almost constantly. I experienced this for about five years. Disappeared eventually as quickly as it arrived.

Mine often came on in middle of night-unconnected with anything to do with bowel etc. Usually lasted about 30 mins. I found sitting on firm surface, and pushing back helped also developed a good relaxation/breathing technique (similar to one I used when in labour)

Obviously not useful when you have constant pain but may help with the more intense episodes.

Stay positive, worry and anxiety really seemed to make mine worse. Hope this helps. K
