I don't know if I am just raw from crohns or something else is brewing down there -- but its real sore...Do those suppositories hurt an abcess or a fistula or help? Anyone know? :ybatty: Sue

Mine hurt because I have a stricture about an inch up from my anus but sometimes when m hemmies are flaring I'll also have trouble with pain. Do you soak in warm to hot water before using the suppository?
 
like Tamesis says, which kind do you mean? if it's pred, then that should help with any inflammation going on.. if it's the kind you can buy over the counter, like Anusol, then i'd say get checked out before you choose to use something without advice... it could just be simple soreness - i think most of us get that from time to time, but i think i'd recommend just seeing a nursing practitioner to let them have a peek, not only will you know what to buy, but your mind can put at rest too.
 
They are Canasa suppositories. I have never had such an irritation to my rectum. I put a call in, I'm waiting....But, I'm thinking it is just the crohns...I need to chill...Could be just hemmis there too...I always think the worst. I can't believe this is my life....I need to chill....Thanks for your support...S :)
 
I agree, probably best to have someone take a look before using anything, just to know it's not going to make things worse. Sorry for your pain, i hope you get some relief soon!
 
K, Dr called me back...She is keeping me at 20 mg prednisone...and giving me cortenema. She asked me to call her next week and let her know if there is any improvement. You bet I'll call if there is no improvement. Sorry to be such a downer. But, it hurts to---you know--poooh. And with the J Pouch, you usually go about 8 times a day. A j pouch with crohns---OMG, about 16+ painful bm's... W:poo:
So--how long do you think before those enemas work? Mmmm I hope soon. I am going to think positive and feel a bit better tomorrow!! :tongue: Sue
 
Morning, I thought I'd let some of you know, I think the cortenemas are working. I can keep them in longer. I am only eating a little solid foods. So, I'll know better this week. I tried to drink mostly boost--about 5-7 a day with one meal. I hope this 6mp works. PRay pray pray...SUe
