Sore rectum - Help

If it's rectal inflammation then double-up on the rectal meds. Can you do colifoam multiple times a day? Can you add a steroid suppository (or steroid enema) in addition to the colifoam? I'd ask your gasteroenterologist!

Butt pain is the worst. When I had it bad, I had to get lidocaine gel. That eases it a little, but hot sitz baths can help, or using protectants. It's bad when you're trying to use the protectant after a BM and hoping it stays put until your next BM, better to pause before a BM and apply so it's protecting fully. I know we often don't have much time before unfortunately. Calmoseptine can soothe, but it doesn't really stop pain. The lidocaine helped more, but still wasn't 100%. My GI used to say stool softners can help, but who wants to soften more than the D i was already having... Perhaps steroid supps to treat that way end area, or steroid cream?

I, too, am suffering from a very burny butt. So painful at times that it will wake me up during the night. I have tried so many different creams. vaseline, hemorrhoid wipes, etc. I had my entire colon removed 5 years ago and have a J pouch. Recently my doctor did a scope to check everything and all is fine. However I discussed with him that I have this burning and he said I had puri something. Of course I can't find the pamphlet he gave me but anyway it said to do the things you all have talked about. I have found that the 40% zinc oxide does give me some relief but still sometimes I just want to cry because it burns/hurts so BAD. I guess we are all suffering so greatly.
