hi all, I am 38 and have had my pouch for about 9 years. Dr. Fazio gave me my life back and for that I'm thankful. I've never experienced any complications or dysfunction after my surgeries. I occasionally get pouchitis which is cleared up with a dose of cipro. Recently I've experienced tailbone pain along with minor symptoms of pouchitis. I'm a patient of dr. Bo Shen at the Cleveland Clinic who is amazing. immediately after I was put on cipro the tailbone grew less and less painful to where now I have no pain there after 2 weeks of cipro. My pouchitishi symptoms are gone as well. I see dr. Bo Shen next week for my annual pouchoscopy but was wondering what to expect when I see him. Knowing that the tailbone pain subsided with cipro I know something is going on. I've read abscesses and tears can happen. Ugh this makes me nervous since I was 9 years going strong with no issues! Help!
