Looking for any advice, on why the pain is so bad down there, all I can do is have sitz baths thats the only thing that feels good. I just had my ileostomy closed 1 week ago and now have unbearable pain down there. Pain killers do nothing, went to the hospital and had a ct scan not leaking.

Can you give more detail? Is this burning pain at the anus? Is it inside and most severe during a bowel movement? Is it in your butt muscles or elsewhere? Are there other symptoms?
"Down there" is a pretty broad area...

Its just inside. Most severe during bowel movement to the point of tears. But last all day night.
Sounds like an anal fissure. Do a search here or on Google. Oral pain meds do nothing. Hot sitz baths are the primary treatment. There are also ointments. Nifedipine, lidocaine, nitroglycerine (old school- big headaches).
Anal fissure pain is extremely severe and the throbbing, spasming sphincter can last an hour or more after a bowel movement.

2 Sitz baths a day. the creams really help. valium is good. a heating pad is a must. Also consider you might have diversion pouchitis or cuffitis. I had all 3.
Any way to prevent this from happening? Just wondering! Thank you
I will pray that this pain goes away!!
