What can help with pain after BM?

Still dealing with inflammation in the last part, calprotectin showed 2500 the other day, back up from 400.
Difference is I reduced Budesonide foam from daily to 3 times a week..

So now I’m back on daily budesonide foam in the mornings. Going on 5 months now in total..

Problem is every time I have a BM (which always bleeds) or even have to insert the suppository or foam, I have throbbing/pulsating pain in my rectum that last for about 2 hours or so..its horrible.. cant concentrate on anything.

Paracetamol doesn’t seem to help much.
I don’t have a bath to be able to sooth in either.

Any ideas that might help deal with this? I have an appointment for the middle of January to discuss biologics.

Thanks

Lidocaine or Pramoxine applications. Some of them are now sold OTC in major chain drug stores, up to 5% or maybe a bit higher in solutions. I think there are some sitz-bath portable minis that you could position on a laminated or plastic table in shower stall since you don't have a tub. They would likely be stocked in medical equipment-type supply stores. Did your doctor recommend any bm-softener jelly capsules-- those things the hospitals give patients following post-surgery meals? / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)
