Sometimes i get sharp shooting pains around my anus. they wake me up at night at times and can last for 15 seconds. they happen randomly?

Examination: You need to be examined to rule out an anal fissure (unlikely) or proctitis (possible though unlikely). See: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/proctitis/basics/definition/con-20027855
