when you say rectal pain.... do you mean a burning/itching sensation, during a BM or due to wiping so often ?
If it’s a skin irritation issue or an anal fissure, then I find applying ilex protectant paste is by far the best product to use and, after years with either an ileostomy or a j pouch; I’ve tried em all.
The vast majority of J pouch recipients, probably have 5 to 8 BMs per day; not everyday, some days, it could be 4; other days it maybe 2.
J pouch surgeons, normally view a daily BM rate of 6 as a successful outcome.
