recent second step J-pouch surgery Aug 19th in which they formed the j-pouch and removed the rectum and connected the pouch. I still have a ileostomy . 2 weeks later started with severe anal pain and spasms all through the day and awakens me a night and passing some mucous. Nothing helps this and I’m miserable. Has anyone else experienced this?  I’m just about to just ask the doctor to get rid of the j-pouch and keep my ileostomy, i just can't stand this!

Cash, try looking up "proctalgia fugal" and "levator ani syndrome". See if the symptoms match what you are experiencing. If it does, you can put a name to your symptoms for discussion with your doctor. It's horribly painful and frightening when the spasms strike. I experienced it briefly after takedown, I think it lasted a few weeks. I didn't take anything for it. It simply stopped. I hope the same for you.
