Called proctalgia : Fugax or levator spasm. Often severe enough to wake from sleep, more common in women. Getting up and walking around for a few minutes, warm tub soak or even a fleet enema, (sodium bisphosphate) changes the anatomy enough to relieve the spasm. Often disappears as abruptly as it came on. No good treatment except as above.

Possibly: The most common symptom with levator and syndrome is the sensational of feeling like you are sitting on a tennis ball. If you have that symptom, it is possible.
