I woke up last night with a major pain in the ass. No really :) I had to get up and everything, after about 20 minutes I felt like crying, but it stoppped and I went back to bed.

This morning I googled it, convinced I had bowel cancer or piles but no, i'm pretty sure its Proctalgia fugax

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctalgia_fugax

It most often occurs in the middle of the night[3] and lasts from seconds to minutes,[4] an indicator for the differential diagnosis of levator ani syndrome, which presents as pain and aching lasting twenty minutes or longer.

So basically, I had cramp in my arse, well i never :) Maybe I should go on Embarrassing Bodies and show my butt hole to the nation.

Anyone else ever had this?
 
No effing way!!!

And I don't use 3 exclamation marks lightly!

Thats a very odd coincidence. I hadn't seen that, I swear. Jancrow and I are clearly bum chums, united in anal pain. It's the second time I've had it, but the first time i googled it. Apparently its common, speak up fellow victims.
 
It is pretty spooky, aye!

I get it occasionally, though not always during sleep. Which probably means I have the symptoms of some different, horrific, terminal arse complaint entirely.
 
Occasionally do get crampy arse pain. I'd always assumed it just signified requiring a poo. Although that doesn't always seem to be the case - just bloody hurts for a while. Is not a nice place to get cramp :!

Merc: I don't think I'll be taking preggers regularly really. They don't seem to be very useful for the type of pain I have and the other effects they have aren't especially recreational so probably not summat I'll be acquiring regulalry.
 
How's it going SHM? Any nearer to getting the all clear? I saw a guy with prostrate cancer on TV the other night, can't remember the prog. They showed him talking about the scary unwanted side effects of prostate removal surgery pre op, then a very cool robot controlled by the surgeon who was sitting 6 metres away from the operating table. The precision of this robot means these problems are less likely to occur. Sure enough, he reported no problems post op. Slight bladder weakness, but was improving constantly. Very positive viewing.

You may not have a previous post of mine, so I'll say it again.

I take two 12.5mg codeine+ibuprofen and either two paramol or two 12.5mg codeine+paracetamol which is 50mg of codeine in one go, which is 10mg less than the 60mg you will get from your GP. I do it three times a day, sometimes take the extra parmol/paracetamol dose.

That with my increasing gabapetin is doing OK. Not quite though, and I'm worried when I'm fully of then amitrip it will not do the job.

What type of pain do you have? That is a very similar regime of meds to what I take for (suspected) Trigeminal Neuralgia. I take 600mg Gabapentin in morning and lunch and 900mg in the evening along with 10mg Amitrip. Also have tramadol on hand when things get really bad, had to take 100mg this morning for a crazily bad pain attack which along with the gaba is a pretty heavy buzz, not really what I need at work hah

Also, 54 needles 8o

Wha...?!? Were they doing embroidery?!? 8(8o8(

Having a laugh. Nah, impressively intense biopsy. I think it might have been fairer to warn me beforehand of just how intense mind.

Impressive because that's 54 needles in something of 22mm thickness.

It's a bit more complex than that but basically June 11th is the date for my HIFU.

The treatment you describe from the TV - was that in this country? Heard about it in France.

And I'm fine thanks. You're the one with arse pain today. :)
 
Holy fuck, SHM!!! That's one helluva biopsy 8o

*seriously considers getting regular prostate exams starting tomorrow*

Have seen that roboprostate surgeon thingy too. Is very impressive indeed. Pretty sure it was a UK hospital in the proggy I saw it on too. Was a while back though so could be mistaken. Seriously impressive bit of kit though.
 
fractured the scaphoid bone in my right wrist about 3 years ago playing football, was in pain for that period and could barely move my wrist. sadly i lived in portugal, where you have to buy healthcare and couldnt afford the operation. i carried on working as a gardener with it, and slowly it degraded further. i recently moved back home to the uk and got the operaration about 2 weeks ago. had a pin put in about 2 inches long and, my pain is still major. luckily they've been throwing codeine and tramadol at me which helps, and of course my own stash of oxycodone helps putting me to a plane pain doesnt exist.
Thank god for the NHS and britain, shame about the fucking weather.
 
^Codeine post-surgery? Ffs I'm just never gonna understand it...
lol you must be the first person with any kind of faith in the NHS to post in this thread for a while though :p

My neck's been doing much better since the WDs have finished/my ibuprofen incident has calmed down. I think the whole thing was just making my neck ridiculously inflammed so the pain was coming out tenfold. It's back to the more 'usual' pain now that I can treat okay with lots of codeine/ketoprofen but I'm still having some intense 'crisis' moments...gonna keep insisting with the new doctor.
What I don't understand is why I was sedated with oxys and morphine for months after the actual incident, but when I tell them now that I'm getting the exact same level of pain I must automatically be lying to the point where they just chuck a few ibuprofen at me :|
 
^personally i cant stand anything like paracetamol, ibuprofen or any non-narcotic painkillers. i find headaches and nothing more than a bad reaction with my stomach (ibs)
but then im sure ill be cut off of my supply as soon as im out of the cast, and soon they may be giving me co-codamol instead of pure codeine sulfate, and removing the tramadol.
they are bastards over here for not wanting to give you any potent narcotics, which i suppose is because the NHS is tax based and the operation alone costed around £15,000 pounds to pull off and the more potent, the higher the price.
 
^ That's not really true. Opiates are dirt cheap. Opiods tend to be pricier. Heroin/diamorphine is insanely cheap last time I checked the BNF. Was a while ago though.

Absolutely not. I <3 the NHS. In general. It's a thing of beauty. But it has its problems - kinda inevitible given the scope of it. Any (sort of) nationalised system is gonna have plenty problems but compared with private-only systems it wins every time. Flawed as it may be.. NHS ftmfw <3
 
^Naah I know. I love the NHS as well (I'm french, would I really hate another free healthcare system?), I just meant that in reference to most of our particular cases, most of us are rather unhappy with the specific treatment we're getting.
Hah I'd forgotten they use diamorphine here...if only I'd gotten hurt in the UK and not in France, would've been wonderful 8)

MTLATINO yeah I dunno...then again most countries won't prescribe you potent narcotics. I don't really know of one aside from the US actually? (and they seem a bit overly-lenient over there)
 
Technically they do use diamorphine but you try getting any :D

They are insanely tight with pain meds but its mere existence is made of pure win <3

What's the healthcare like in France? Looked great on Michael Moore's Sicko... but his depiction of the NHS was so rosy tinted that's hardly a reliable source 8)
 
Hah yeah good point :p

It's absolutely fantastic, seriously. Free healthcare for everyone, really well organised and overall the doctors are quite competent (med school in France is absolute hell though so they better be). Honestly one of the best things about the country I think :)
