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 don't think it's ovary pain, because i have been in menopause since 2006 and I get excruciating pains shooting up through my vaginal canal every now and then.  It hurts like hell and I makes me stop what I am doing. I double over in pain.  it only last for a minute and then I don't feel it again for another week or so,  very strange indeed..I have no idea what it could be

Im 20 years old and i have had this pain even way before i got married and became sexually active. i recently found out that my uterus is retroverted, which means its not in the normal place, but slightly tilted towards the anus. i found it hurts more when im constipated, so fibre, fibre, fibre!!!
