Dear Kelrob12,
I am aware that this is a very old thread and I hope you are feeling much better now.
I unfortunately suffer from the same symptoms as you describe, so I wanted to ask you if you ever found an explanation or had a diagnosis for your symptoms with rctal pressure. I am going out of my skin and am desperate as no doctors have been able to find the cause.

Hi so I don't get notifications to posts and have had a break from the forum - only came on this week! I don't know if your still a member but I though id reply.
I still get the odd time where I get  pain in my rectum but not as it was. I don think there is anything to explain why other than stress and like a trapped nerve (say if I've don't too many glutei exercised at he gym). It lasts about 10 minutes a time an i just lie down and what helps(weirdly) is to spread my legs wide open 😂 in the air! I know it always passes but its not a sharp pain but a dull ache/squeezing. im sorry I cant be of more help.

xx

Hi Emilson. Could you have levator ani syndrome? How is your pelvic floor?

I get a cramp like sharp pain every so often just before a period. When I looked it up its called proctalgia fugax I think.
It comes on out of nowhere, nothing to set it off other than change in hormones I reckon. Only way I seem to get any relief is to do pelvic floor and anal exercises, I also find kneeling on all fours in a ball and rocking helps while doing the exercises. Sometimes lasts 10 mins sometimes lasts 30 mins.

I get the same. Not often but when I do it hurts. My doctor said its spasm. I find sitting on a hot water bottle helps relax it. It's since I had my second son but you can also get it with IBS

I have shooting pains up the bum during my period.

I did find a solution... Buscopan.

It has changed my life. No more curling in up In a ball waiting for the pain to go away.

Good luck x

That's an ati spasmodic medication so if it's spasm it will help. I suppose our pelvic organs are close together so one might cause pressure on another
