The pain of proctalgia fugax is characteristically described as a

sudden, sharp or gripping, cramp-like pain in the anorectal area. The

pain does not radiate. Spontaneous relief occurs within seconds to

minutes, although rarely the pain can be present for hours. Onset

occurs after puberty and disappears by the age of 70. It occurs in

both males and females. The pain can occur at any time but has a

predilection for the nocturnal hours. Frequency is variable but, in

most affected persons, episodes of pain occur several times a year. A

brief review has been posted on:

Thank you for this post. This is something that has occurred to me on an

occasional basis and I could never figure out why. I have had colonoscopies and

other exams and the results of the tests have been excellent without any

concerns. It is interesting how some things are finally coming to light as

genuine. I use to get restless leg syndrome and also got it in my arms. I

would have to get up in the middle of the night and run cold water over my arms

to alleviate the sensation in my arms. It did go away after years but now has

become a legitimate diagnosis.
