That really sounds easy but I can't reach behind me due to arthritis and obesity - I am 230 and 5ft. with all my weight in the rear - darn. I have not been able to reach wiping for many years except from front - then barely. I have considered purchasing a "helper' for that - that is how bad it is. Anyway, I will ask the doc/NP about foam or suppositories like every other night or something. I have a full Proctofoam container - might be worth a try. Right now all is pretty well but I can feel a little irritation.

i've done that,but right now i'm having a problem with in the mornings i still have urgency it's very formed at the beginning then the rest is a soft form. it still has mucus in it,then i have to go back like less then 30 min. to have another bowel movement but it's a pile of mush.

and i feel constipated the rest of the day. has anyone experienced this?

It's classic for rectal inflammation to have a pattern of mixed stool....but if you have urgency with straining, (or if I had that), I'd have no problem to accept it's a flare.

Yes, I get it always with a flare.

Does anyone else feel this way during a flare. I will sit on the toilet and go a little bit then I want to get up but I feel like I have more to do. I feel the urgency and discomfort but I can't go. I have been spending so much time in the bathroom lately and it just hurts so bad. I'm thinking it is spasms.

Get that feeling all the time. It's awful.
