Reply to "Does butt burn ever go away!!"

I got my J pouch in 1990. I can't remember how long my pouch took to settle after surgery. I do know that smoking marijuana regularly helped it settle and I then enjoyed about 20 years without much pain and little discomfort. I was always going to the toilet regularly but my visits were very short and relatively pain free. I wasn't even using creams. About 5 years ago butt burn starting to increase and my toilet visits became much longer and more painful. I returned to a specialist for the first time in 20 years and he told me it was just wear and tear over the years. I used savlon cream and vaseline for a couple of years. As my condition worsened slowly I did get a bidet. Good move as it has helped and now I miss it if I have to use the toilet away from home. I have found that simple baby oil is now the best cream for me which is good as it keeps things from drying out and it is so inexpensive. I still enjoy a good quality of life between toilet visits. I go at 2 to 3 hour intervals almost all the time and suffer discomfort and pain for 10 minutes or so until I have cleared the gas and poop. Reading stories on this website has made me feel very fortunate and I wish all of you all the best going forward. I have stopped using marijuana a couple of times over the last 5 years with dreadful results so I have to say if you haven't used marijuana yet definitely give it a go. For me it provides many benefits. It is a very effective sedative and helps me pass wind and poop. A good probiotic also helps in this way. It also reduces pain, helps sleep, keeps me hydrated and keeps me eating. It reduces my blood pressure, increases my heart rate for about 20 mins after smoking then returns to normal. It definitely helps with my libido and just reduces stress levels as incidents arise during life. I worry less and don't become so aggresive when agitated. For me it has been a miracle drug.I realise being a mind altering drug that some will find it uncomfortable or useless or both. I repeat if you haven't tried it you have nothing to lose or fear given that we are living with such constant chronic conditions. I hope getting stoned has a beneficial effect for you.
