Shooting pain through vagina and anus

I have sharp shooting pains through my vagina and anal area.  They only last a few seconds.  The build and peak like labor pains.  Say I'm in the kitchen and I'll feel it coming on so I have time to brace myself.  I'll set down whatever it is i'm holding and get ready.  I have to cross my legs, bend my knees, hold on to something, clench my body tight, and try to breathe.  Thank God it only lasts a few seconds.  My 14 yr. old son witnessed it yesterday and tried to call 911.  I kept signaling him not to.  I knew it wouldn't last long.  My gyno. didn't understand me when I tried to explain it to her.  What is going on?  Has anyone else experienced this kind of unbearable pain?  If the pain lasted even a min. I feel like I would just pass out and die from the pain. Honestly, it's worst than labor pains.  I never know when it's going to occur.  And when it does happend, I have to be standing to get through it, I can't be sitting.  I've also noticed that after the pain passes I'm out of breath and dizzy.  What is going on?  What should I be tested for?  Also, I've had a stabbing pain on my right side of my stomach under my rig cage.  It seems to move around the area.  Cannot take a deep breath in or yawn without tremendous pain.  Does anyone have an idea about what that could be?  Thankyou ahead of time to those who respond to my questions.

I suggest you go get checked now. My mom had same problems but since she had a full hysterectomy she thought it couldn't be serious she was wrong they found a tumor in her vagina. They said she has vagina cancer and gave her 3-6months they said it is incurable. Please think of your families and get checked. She's on her last few days now bedridden and needs 24//7 care and is only 51 years old she was always the care giver but not nomore.

I experience occasional sharp shooting pain in the anal and vaginal areas. However, I don't have pain when I have a bowel movement. I have been feeling like some kind of mass, something inside my anus, not painful, just there. And today was the first time when I had a darker poop which looked a little bloody. My period started over a week ago and it's still "trickling" a bit. I'm 45, and I also have a thickened endometer and large fibroid cysts. I'm afraid I might have anal or colon cancer. I'm considering a colonoscopy. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks.

I have also been getting pains in the vagina mine every now and then are a pain is stitch and then just throbbing pain and can be quite painful but not as bad as the pain as some of you are describing..I've had internal scans and nothing came up and sti checks again nothing..I also get what is known as BV a lot a fishy discharge wih is nt nice but that didn't come up within swab results..I know something is wrong but I've had no luck finding an answer I'm 21 and even contemplating an early smear..I thought it might have been endo or pelvic inflammatory before my scan now I'm just disheartened has anyone else suffered a similar thing?

i see this is an old thread---just my two cents, i also think its gas or irritable bowel-your bowels can do strange things, and gas pain can be incredibly pain ful, for some reasons the dopey doctors dont see this...i actually have pain sometimes when i try to urinate and finally a resident, yes it took a young female resident to diagnosis with the doctor standing next to her, that it could be bowel; your bowel is incredibly long and if its inflamed at all you can have problems where you wouldnt normally think.
