Could someone who has seen DR. SHEN @ Cleveland Clinic for an abscess or a sinus tract tell me which dose he prescribes for Tindimax(Tinizadole)?

Anybody ever have pelvic fluid that they couldnt drain?
Have you tried doing a quick search for Tindamax? Just go to the "find" tab and all posts with that word will come up.

bergie do you have a doc on your case? if not, think you need to.
Liz: my CR surgeon thinks my sinus is too small to be causing symptoms 1.2cm long 2mm deep. What do you think?
no I think you can definitely be having symptoms, BUT I am not a doctor, let alone a CR surgeon. Still same question, anyway you can get yourself into a more experience jpouch doctor?
What is not being said is that his primary difficulty/symptom is severe problems with pouch emptying. He is unable to empty normally on the toilet. I think this is all kinds of wrong, and he is only 7 months post take-down, so still under the care of his surgeon.
The sinus may be causing pain, irritation, etc., but this other thing sounds like an outlet obstruction. He's had multiple scopes, all looking good. Only one hospital in hs area does defacograms and the wait is 8 months.
So, quite a pickle, to say the least. Those of you savvy with the Canadian Health System, please help here in regard to what he should do.
Excuse me for jumping in on your thread, but I think folks need to know the story, in order to help.

Jan just got results from MRI :
FINDINGS:
There is a small amount of fluid adjacent to the j pouch. This is an abnormal finding and is in keeping with a small amount of ascites. There does not appear to be clear loculation to suggest abcess formation. There is a small amount of presacral edema noted as well. The study demonstrates a linear fluid filled blind ending tract arising from the proximal aspect of the anal canal near the junction with the j pouch. This sinus tract measures 1.2cm in length and 2mm in thickness. The walls demonstrate enhancement. It approaches the prostate but does not involve it. No additional sinus or fistulous tracts are identified. No significant lymphadenopathy is identified.
IMPRESSION:
Presence of a sinus tract at the one o'clock position at the level of the proximal anal near the junction with a j pouch.
Presence of a small amount of ascites but no evidence of loculation to suggest abscess formation.
Jan please tell me what you would do in my position. Thank you so much)))

Can anyone help interpret findings from MRI above please?
I would wait and see what your surgeon says at your appointment. Give him a chance to explain the findings and how hey might relate to your symptoms.

TINDAMAX 500MG 2 TIMES A DAY.
Pouchomarx: for how long?
LONG TERM, I have been on and off of it since I started taking it a year ago. right now I am just doing 1 500mg at night
Pouchomarx: If you dont take the Tindimax what exact symptoms does your sinus tract give you?
I don't have any symptoms of the sinus. I have always had mild cuffitis, but Shen discovered the sinus when I was inflammation free at one point
Pouchomarx: so what are your spasms caused by? Cuffitis?
NOT SURE? MAYBE, OR IRRITABLE POUCH. I'm a mystery case..lol
Im having the same problems can you describe the exact location of the spasms? Do they make you need to go empty pouch even if theres almost nothing in it?
