I'm 8 months post takedown and been have rectal shooting stabbing pain only on left buttock side of j pouch. I'm getting this pain about 5-10 times a day, every time there is any stool or gas in my pouch it starts, when it hits I can't breathe, talk or move until it passes. Ive been on Cipro on/off since takedown cause its the only thing hat helps pain. Never had pouchitis been scoped 6 times since takedown. The pain comes in waves, and it doesn't stop until I go to the bathroom. It's beginning to feel like colitis again, pain-poop-relief, pain-poop-relief. This cycle is defeating me.

It seems to come whether my pouch is full or just a bit is in there, gas makes it much worse as the pressure is more intense. Relief on comes after bowel movement. Only feel the pain on left side of j pouch (left buttock ) never on the right side.

Bergie,

Have you tried Bentylol? It is an anti-spasmatic drug and might help you.

With the problems that you are experiencing, I would recommend getting a second opinion. Just make certain that you have as many test results as possible available if you make arrangements to see another doctor.

Good luck and feel free to reach out to me anytime.

Thanks,

Solomin

It is common to have the fluid. How much is there? I always have fluid about 4cc worth in one spot and 2-3cc worth in another. If you have an abscess then that is a different story.

Cipro doesn't help nerve pain that is why I mentioned a placebo effect. I have had that with some meds that really didn't help me, my brain told me. They were making what I had (c.diff) actually worse but I swore they helped.

Nerves get damaged in surgery so it sounded like a nerve issue to me. See a doctor though, could be something else.
