I recently had a scope and they discovered pouchitis and what may or may not be Crohn's as the ulcers were high up and put me on tapered prednisone for 6 weeks, I started it on Tuesday . My butt issues are so severe now with something vicious that is making it impossible for me to walk and I walk a lot for my job. They gave me a cream for a fungal infection (used for 6 days) and it did not work. I use Nefedipine as I believe there could be a fissure there. I use Lidocaine and take sitz baths regularly. Am i missing something ? Extremely sore to the touch on the sides, excruciating at the anus when wiped (this area has very visible red slits which look like cuts) I am at my wits end with this and cannot even play with my kids.. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
