I have been having severe anal cramp for the best part of 20 years and have even passed out a few times with the pain. for some reason it seems to happen more during the night.

On one recent occasion I was awakened by the severe pain and I was heading to get a pain killer but thought I had better not as I had to use my stairs . i did not want to pass out and fall down the stairs so decided to go back to bed.

I lay on my bed and for 5 minutes taking very deep breaths filling my lungs to max and after 5 to 10 minutes the pain was gone .

This seems to work for me , I do hope it helps others.
