I had 41 treatments of hi dose radiation 5 years ago. I developed chronic radiation proctitis and other gi tract problems ( Chrones type ). I also have chronic burn of the urinary tract. The symtoms have gotten worse. Has anyone used the following for these issues:

 

1. Elmiron

2. ELMA cream

3. Anusol HC Supp.

4. Imodium 8 x day

5. Neurotin

 

Please advise as to your experience. Has anyone found any remedies that work.

Thanks for your input.

    Hyperbaric oxygen treatment

    You may want to consider hyperbaric oxygen treatment. See:

    Anusul Supp.

    I am using the 25 mg supposititories for about 3 months following radiation procities diagnosis about 1.5 years after prostate seeding.  I seem to be in a holding pattern.  My doctor wants me to be let time work before going to the next step.  I think his chosen route for me is to try a Formalin treatment is time and supposititories don't work.  My problem is located in the rectum area.
