Reply to "Cuffitis help **PLEASE**"

hopefully you are feeling great since this was a few months back!

i've been there several times w/ "out of nowhere" cuffitis flares even with 5 years past and great pouch function. i know how badly that ring of fire burns. this is an amazing ointment that you need a script for and must get compounded but it works wonders! my amazing j-pouch surgeon formulated this:

*ketam/lido/diaz/baclo 3/5/0.75/2%*

it's ketamine, lidocaine, i think diazepam, baclorin (an antibacterial)...i apologize i'm traveling and don't have the full names but any compounding pharmacist will understand the script line on the label. you just need a dime/pea size applied right inside the cuff up to 3xs/day. i keep this on hand always and it has got me out of some painful episodes. it lasts a long time and 3 tubes will set you back about $60.

as jan says, remember, it will pass!
