Hello everyone...does anyone have a go to products that will help with severe rectal/anus pain, itch, burn?  I have tried everything I can think of.  Yesterday I ate very little so that my bowel output would be minimual ( 7 x yesterday and 2 x at night) and taking lomotil and b&o suppositories. I have tried tons of barrier ointments, sitz baths, lidocane 5%, etc.  I just don't think I can tolerate this anymore.  It consumes my every day function.  Hurts to sit, walk, shower even hurts now.  I had botox injection in January, didn't work.  I have a fissure that just won't heal and I am almost ready to say give me a temp ileostomy so that my butt would heal it's been 3 years with this constantly hurting.  I feel a bulge of sorts too when I cleanse myself and I can't truly say when that started.  Any suggestions would be so appreciated.  Thanks again.

So sorry about this. I struggle with exact same issues. Sitz baths do help and calmoseptine. As much as I hate cipro. I tend to reach for it when  the rectal/ anal pain gets severe. Lidocaine helps too. I know how consuming the pain is. It never subsides esp when the fissure is active and bleeding. I hope this helps. I have also resorted to a heating pad that I actually place over my clothes on the back end when pain is unbearable.

Hello Jeane...yes thank you for the input.  I do use the calmospetine too and was just off of 90 days cipro.  It just seems I can't get it to heal.  I just know that it really puts a stop to daily activity because of the level of pain.  Strange thing is I've never experienced this until 6 years ago when I had my 1st bout with pouchitis.  I was blessed with a great j pouch for almost 20 years then kaboom!  One thing after another.  Hope you can find relief too.  Thank you again.

Patti
