rectal/ anus pain... help!

sorry to hear you are in so much pain. rectal pain is never fun. did you try vit e suppositories? it helped me a lot.

I have no rectal meds. No suppositories.
I am pretty "new" to ulcerative colitis.

Im up early this morning with the same throbbing aches.
I know my disease is bad because I am not on medications yet (picking up colazol today!!!) But i was hoping for something to help me with this.
I have a 40 minute car ride and a birthday party to sit through for most of the evening. :/

Katie, What you are describing sounds like what I went through over the last few months - Per the Doctor it was constipation. Per xray, colon was almost totally full of stool. They told me to get cleaned out - use mag citrate - 1 to 2 bottles til cleaned out then take miralax daily to keep stool soft. The constipation built up over months, and at times, d would squeeze past it. It got so bad that d was squeezing out the rectum, but I was still constipated. Ended up with a large hemmroid. It took 3 nights of dulcolax and a colonoscopy prep to clean me out, and I still don't think it is cleaned out. But that pressure and pain is finally gone. Doc also suggested tap water enemas but I had no idea how to even do that.

Hope this helps. It surely didn't make sense to me that d could get past constipation like that, but apparently it does.

The cream will take of the feeling of being on fire.

Call your pharmacist right this minute. I can't believe I didn't know about this cream until recently!

For my next colonoscopy prep I am coating my entire bottom with Calmoseptine before the output starts.

:) - hey whatever works for you.

I will say that the minute I put a good layer of the cream on, I had instant relief. This may sound gross but I wanted to walk around w/o clothes, and I am usually a freeze cat, let me tell you and definitely a modest person but I knew air would help heal me. (of course I did put clothes on, but made sure they were cotton underwear and loose fitting shorts (this was summer). I don't think you want to trap air in, in fact if you get the cream, and want to nap, I would skip bottoms and let air reach this area under the sheets. Of course your sheets will become a mess. But the important thing is to feel relief.

I am a mother of two daughters in their 20s now and my experience with a raw bottom last summer reminded me of when they'd get severe diaper rash. The Pediatrician would say try to let the baby go without a diaper for a while. You do want air to surround the area, not trap the air in.

Yeah well I wish it wasn't scented either but apparently it's an old, old cream and the ingredients haven't changed probably since it was created!

But I do like non-scented products - from laundry detergents, to dryer sheets, to liquid softener and I even found a great analgesic cream that is unscented. Woohoo, no Ben Gay smell when my touchy back acts up.

Conquer UC i use carlson key-e suppositories but if you have nothing like that at home coconut oil works too at least for me

Its like Christmas on my butthole!

Sooo minty. But a good good minty. Menthol, cooling.

Thank you so much for the help! Its exactly what I needed!

Later you can get lidocaine via presc. No smell!
