What could a very sharp shooting pain up back passage be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation or spasm: Many things including anal irritation and rectal muscle spasm. At 53 you need to have someone take a direct look - sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Although rarely presenting with this symptom, a tumor is on the list of possibilities.
