Reply to "Very Bad Stricture, please need Advice, Needle Knife, Balloon, or Dilators?"

I haven’t had the procedures, so I can’t help you choose among them (others here can share their experiences). The timing isn’t clear: when you say “it was going well” before you hurt your back do you mean that your pouch was working fine with real poop, or just that you were able to dilate enough to expel the mucus without a problem? Most people who have strictures can do okay as long as they keep the thing open, but it requires attention and some effort (unless it just stays open eventually, but it sounds like you haven’t been that lucky). You’ve gone 5 years without using your J-pouch for its intended purpose - is it your goal to start using it again, or just to fix the mucus blockage?
