What the f is this pain? TOTM

[Stoppedat1]

Woke up at 3.30 with the most horrendous wind like pain. Have it every sodding month.

Does anyone else get this? What causes it? It's a literal pain the arse

Sorry I have just seen another thread where someone is in actual real pain. Sorry if this is insensitive x

Don't know, but also in pain! Have an interview tomorrow and could really do with being asleep.

If it's my thread you saw please don't worry! Hope your pain eases soon.

Thank you Emma. How are you feeling? Haven't got to the end of your thread yet. Hope you're ok.

Diddly, hope it eases soon. Good luck with your interview!

Is it short and sharp? I used to get it. Lots of people on here do too. Commonly referred to as javelin arse.

Yes! Ha javelin arse is a perfect name

Yeah, Javelin arse. I am glad I found out that I was 1) not the only one who gets it* and 2) that Mumsnet have a name for it!!! I wonder how many Doctors go "Ah Javelin arse'. Not many (unless they are Mumsnetters I bet.

*Of course this was years after my periods seem to have stopped now.

Oooh I had javelin arse last night. Not cool. It’s been ages since that happened.

Technical name is proctalgia fugax 😄

BUt javelin arse is easier to remember and most people know what it is...!!! 🤣

Yes, forget the proper name, I knew this would be Javelin Arse 😂
