You definitely aren't alone. I know the exact stabbing pains that you speak of. I would be so embarrassed when it happened at work. Once, I was getting out of my chair when it hit. I was talking to someone and the look of panic on her face when she saw me grimace and double over. I tried to shake it off but I think I really scared her. I didn't want anyone else to know. During these times, I can't stand up straight but can't bend either and getting in and out of a small car is impossible. I had to trade vehicles with my sister who has a small SUV for a few days because I couldn't get behind the wheel of my Prism without screaming in pain. A lot of the times these pains would occur with the passing of a large clot. I've been prescribed Naproxen for mine and it does help for me whereas acetaminophen and ibuprofen didn't work.
