My husband, too, has rectal pain often and is very severe and lasts around 30 minutes or longer. I tried heating pads, even sticking the finger up a little ways to see if that would relax the rectum. doctors can't do anything for it. I even tried a massager and then hand massaging the area. Nothing worked. So, my husband laid on his back and bent his knees toward his chest. He asked me to put pressure on his legs. So, I got on the bed and sat on the shin area while his legs are bent and leaned forward to put some pressure on and then he asked me to stop when it was the right amount. After I did that, the pain went away. so, those of you that are having this problem, try this and see if it helps.

recently Ive experienced some discomfort sleeping and walking because it feels like i strained a muscle in my buttocks and when I move it too much it breaks out into a spasms also
When my mom was having radiation for rectal cancer, she had bad rectal spasms. They prescribed proctofoam which immediately relieved her spasm.
I also have rectal spasms that get very intense. It has been going on for at least 3 years. They last usually about 1 hour and spread to the vagina area. It used to feel like a baby coming out but since I had my hysterectomy 6 weeks ago it just feels real tight and hurts when the pain radiates. In February I had a colonoscopy and they found polyps and ulcer and inflamation in my lower colon. My spasms are unpredictable and I have not noticed any relationship to activity or food. These are extremely painful. I have been offered no solution from doctors.
