How long does javelin arse last?

216 replies

TiffanyAchingsHatFullofSky · 29/01/2022 22:20

It happened to me last week for the first time in ages. It lasted about 5-6 seconds.

I was just wondering whether, when we describe javelin arse, are we all experiencing the same thing?

Does it only last a few seconds for others as well?

What is it ?? Never heard of the term and now I've seen people's explanations, I'm still mystified.

PAFMO · 29/01/2022 22:48

Blimey, I dream of it lasting 3 seconds.
Had first one in ages during last night and it was a short attack for me- only about 10 minutes.
Dangling with your arse over the edge of the bath helps, as does a hot water bottle on offending area.

MooSakah · 29/01/2022 22:46

15 minutes!!! Of javelin arse?! Is it a women only thing? I feel like if men got it there would be a treatment by now.

Proctalgia fugax

Genuinely have zero clues what it is your talking about still, for which I am very very grateful as it sounds awful. Perhaps is because I haven't been to Center Parcs either Grin

Fanny daggers... classic

What's it called when you get both at once?

Sweet Jesus Christ.... if this has ever happened, is the poor person still living to tell the tale?!

How can I have got to 51 and never heard of this?

What causes it?

ExplodingCarrots · 29/01/2022 22:43

It's usually when I'm about to get period or whilst got it.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 29/01/2022 22:42

Too fucking long. Often when I'm on my period
Going for a poo relieves it but I can't go because of the pain Confused

ExplodingCarrots · 29/01/2022 22:42

A couple of seconds but it incapacitates me . If it lasted more than a few seconds I think I'd be screaming in pain. It stops me in my tracks :( I didn't know it had a name until I saw it on here .

Singlebutmarried · 29/01/2022 22:42

I’d not had this for ages (known as shooty arse here) but had a 10 second stab today.

Add that to the massive abdominal wound I’ve got at the moment and I’ve had a cracking day

warmeduppizza · 29/01/2022 22:42

Up to 20 seconds I’d say. Last time DH was rather alarmed to suddenly find me clinging to a clothes rack in H&M unable to speak.

@Supersimkin2

Proctalgia fugix.

Bear down as if pooing and it eases faster.

Bloody hell, thanks for this. I thought it'd be internal haemorrhoids but have been doing what you said to ease the pain. I once woke up to this pain, lasted minutes.
ZZTopGuitarSolo · 29/01/2022 22:40

15 minutes or more. I lie on my side, deep breathe, get cold sweats, nearly pass out, nearly throw up, want to die, etc. Its awful.

HelloFrostyMorning · 29/01/2022 22:39

People post some weird shit on here. Confused

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 29/01/2022 22:37

A few seconds for me.

I find fanny daggers more of a hinderence though.

@hamsterchump

What on earth? Why does this happen to so many of you?

I've never heard of it, is it something to do with Centre Parks? Just another reason to keep away from there for me if so.

That made me LOL.

"Is it something to do with Centre Parks? Always hated that place."

Not easily. Sounds like it might be less intense than the rest of you are reporting. Oh the relief when it stops though

Known as shooty arse here ...
A few seconds but takes my breath away

Name99 · 29/01/2022 22:33

Someone posted the correct medical name for it a while ago, I can't remember what it's called

namechanged221 · 29/01/2022 22:32

Ohhhhh.... javelin arse

Thank God there's a name for it.

I thought it was just me

Hairyfriend · 29/01/2022 22:30

Never heard this term in my life?

Do you mean a shooting pain inside the anus, bum cheeks, coccyx or something else??? Confused
