Having strange on/off pain deep in rectum since having colon removal

Posted by angelaandres1991 @angelaandres1991, Mar 30 4:25pm

Has anyone here experienced a on/off DEEP pain, like deep inside your core I want to say maybe rectum, but this pain will hit randomly out of nowhere. I can be asleep, sitting or standing and it is so piercing and deep, way deep like to your nerve ending deep, and you feel like the only relieve is throwing up. It lasts 5 to 10 minutes and then it leaves, longest has been 30 minutes. It started after having colon removed. Dr’s cannot find the cause.

I’ve had this even before my colon resection. It feels like having a BM might help but it doesn’t. It’s random and usually hits me at night. For me it follows stressful times maybe 1x every 3-4 months no rhyme or reason. The closest I came to calling it something was protaglia fugax but Doctor doesn’t even know.

Thank you! You have finally given me an answer, I looked this up & it is exactly what I am experiencing. I will discuss with my dr at my next appt. I hope yours gets better.

@angelaandres1991, have you had a chance to talk to your doctor about it?

Thank you so much for all this information! I have not seen my Dr but I have an appointment with him next month and will discuss with him then.
I am just grateful to know there is a name for this.
