Anal/rectal spasm

A couple of days ago I had constipation, headache and I used to vomit. I thought then that that was the effect of Imodium, Questran and a newly added probiotic. Then, I felt something was blocking the way that could be a hemmie, an abscess or my proctitis acting up as usual at that time in the year. Saw GI who said that this was anal/rectal spasm. The only solution is applying GTN though he knows it causes me headache and dizziness. He said I have to put a very small amount 3 or 4 times a day. I keep applying it but in vain. I have severe urgency and I'm crying out of pain. I'm a D person by nature. Today, I couldn't bear it and took a glycerin suppository which made me have a bm but after severe straining. It's very difficult to have urgency and can't pass anything out as the sphincter is closed. What's the cause of this spasm and how can you deal w it?

I also have had rectal spasms. Some of the things I used that helped me:
Hot bath’s. Muscle relaxers. Nifedipine .2%, c-nitroglycerin .2 % ointments. Belladonna and opium suppositories. I have also found the EMPI Teens device (used very extensively to relive muscle and arthritis pain by physical therapists) to be very helpful when I'm in painful spasm – it’s a little portable unit that attaches via sticky pads around your muscle and it sends very low electrical pulses. I also know of someone who had botox injections down there, gets a bit messy as you pretty much loose control.
Keep reaching out to your doctor and seek second opinion at a teaching hospital.
Good Luck to you!

I have gotten the same thing from time to time. It's horrible. I haven't tried suppositories or meds. A hot bath helps and I take ibuprofen (I know some CD-ers won't take it) to help with the pain. That way it doesn't feel like there's a lump in my bum. I hope you get some relief soon. I'm sorry!
