Stabbing pain in vagina and anus

I completely relate to the pain you are all experiencing. I have sharp stabbing pain that feels like it shoots up through my vaginal area into my abdomen and sometimes my anus as well. The pain is so unbearable at times that I cannot move or breathe. I am currently being treated for endomitriosis, however nothing they have done has been effective and now they are suggesting an IUD and possibly laproscopic surgery. I have also had surgery on my bladder to rule out IC which turned out to be negative. Have any of you had any treatments that have been successful? I am desperate at this point since I have been dealing with this type of daily pain for over 5 years. Please help!

these pains can be caused by a lot of things besides iud insertion. sexual trauma being one. basically anything that causes the muscles to tense up. ultra sounds did not detect the bumps but i can feel them with my fingers. your vaginal wall should be smooth without bumps or ridges. you'll know if you find one because you'll lose your breath or scream due to the pain.

i've been having shooting pains in my vagina for a year. since i got paraguard. i got my iud out and the pains persisted. finally i found a doctor that told me it was muscle spasms on my pelvic floor. she does a therapy where she puts pressure on them until they stop spasming. problem is she can't get to the one that is high up there and the most painful. and for the past few months i have been getting the same stabbing pains in my rectum. I'm looking for more answers.

Hey there. I don't know that Im posting to the proper category and this is my first time posting but, here goes! So after having a kinda loose stool this afternoon, which is unusual for me to have any at all, (IBS-C) and they're never "loose" (NOT liquid or anything, wasnt concerned at all) UNTIL about 20mins AFTER, I started having these weird electricity-like pains in my rectum. They felt almost like spasms in my anus. TERRIBLE, WICKED spasms. Only when Id sit (in my chair) with pressure on that area did it feel any better, and even then, NOT good. But also I started having pain in my abdomen along with a pain (sharp and achey) in my left side of my hip too. Here I am, posting this, after literally 5 hours of this. One of the pains in my rectum actually woke me up - I coughed in my sleep (have that terrible cold going around) and yeah! It WOKE me! A pretty toucgh feat. Though it feels a little better by now...the almost waves of pain are HORRIBLE! Im a little worried by now. What could this be? Any solutions for pain relief? Thank you, in advance.

I too have these pains and have also had a hysterectomy.
80% othe pains I was having before are gone but this shooting pelvic anus cagina pain still comes and goes. I find it comes every few weeks or so and is there for about 2 days. It feels like so much pressure sometimes I can't sit. As well as passinh gas and bowel movements get very painful with the pressure.  
I did go for an internal and external ultrasound last week. If they come up with anything I'll let you know.
If it matters I'm 29 3 children and my hysterectomy was 2 years ago.
