Hello,
I had spasms, for what seems like... forever. Honestly, I can remember having them as a kid and not knowing what they were. When I told my pediatrician about them (yes, i've had them that long!) he just sort of gave me this weirded out/confused look, so I said never mind, and he went on with the exam.
It sounds to me like you are having spasms, although perhaps they are minor ones. When I have one, I KNOW it. Now, since your only having minor ones, you don't want to progress to major ones, trust me. But mine feel a lot like you described....like a pinching and a stabbing up in my bum. Its not pleasant at all. :(
I think your doctor is probably right, he is a doctor after all, he would know. I have had surgery already, and that has helped a lot, but I still do get a spasm here and there. So what I have been doing is taking 100 mg of magnesium glycinate. I take one every night before I go to sleep, and it guarantees a soft BM in the morning. I have actually been feeling awesome since I started taking the magnesium, and I highly recommend it.
Hope this helps.
