Ice

Started using some ice packs on my sore rectum today and they are helping tremendously. I know I have at least one external hemi and not sure what is going on inside, but I've been struggling with pressure and pain and inflammation that has been increasingly limited to the rectum/ anal area.

Haven't read much about ice packs here so maybe this will help someone find some temporary relief during their day.

 

Externally using prep h and witch hazel wipes. Is there something else to try?

Need to update my sig with the generic rowasa enema i started two nights ago. Hopefully I'll be better able to retain both the enemas and the Canasa soon. I never had trouble with Canasa, kept it in all night before this flare but the urgency and frequency has meant nothing stays in longer than an hour . Today I am having fewer bathroom trips so I think things are moving in the right direction.
