J-Pouch since 2005. I've been having a stubborn pain within the rectum. I can feel a lump/roughness just 1/2 in. on left hand side. I have tried proctofoam, diltiazem with no relief. Lidocaine Ointent is a temporary relief but my GI said not to use it. I have an appointment to inject a steroid in the area of the pain. Has anyone had this procedure done? Do you need to be sedated??
Thanks
