Reply to "Do the spasms and pain go away??"

It's been a very long time for me, but I do recall having the "butt puckering" experiences that seemed to throb for no reason at all. I eventually learned it was associated with the pouch filling. Over time, that sensation resolved and was just replaced with sensations of fullness and pressure.

However, having a fissure in addition to a newly functional pouch, is sort of like gasoline on a fire I think. Severe spasms of the sphincters are pretty much the hallmark, along with the "passing broken glass" pain during a BM. Even if it is healing, that spasming throb thing still occurs.

Have you spoken to your surgeon about this? It seems that you need some topical anesthetic at the very least, and maybe some powerful antispasmodic. Oral would be OK for the antispasmodic. B&O suppositories would be great, if you could tolerate inserting them. They are belladonna and opium and great for rectal or bladder spasms/pain.
