Hi all! I am 9 months past take down. I had a scope November 5th. Doc said pouch looked good but I do have cuffitis. He prescribed canasa suppositories 2x day. I am not feeling better and also am having leakage (small amount but I wear a pad). The leakage is during the day. I work from home but am sitting a lot at the computer. Any suggestions? Is the leakage normal with cuffitis? I'm tired of feeling sore at this point, and just want to get to a normal life.

I wonder if you could use a cortisone foam - I used that when I had rectal inflammation.
Canasa can take a while to work. One thing you could discuss with your doctor is adding a short course of a steroid, to get the cuff inflammation under control. Then the Canasa would hopefully keep things calm instead of having to calm things down in the first place. Good luck!
I thought about the steroid. I'm just miserable and suspect I've had this issue for awhile. Thanks for the feedback.
For me - the steroid knocked it out quickly - but some of it does absorb in the system. But maybe you can knock it down with the steroid and control it with the Canasa.
Yeah definitely agree with calling doctor. Are you doing better now???
