I have a permanent ileostomy and still have a rectal stump and am having issues with bleeding and mucus discharge, fissures, and hemorrhoids, and it's all causing me a lot of pain.

I also have a permanent ileostomy. I had mucus discharge and severe pains from the rectal stump they left in me as well. I would say any bleeding is not a good thing. It could be from the hemorrhoids or something else. The rectal pain I experienced was so bad I went back into surgery 22 years after my original ostomy surgery to have all of the rectum removed. I have never felt better afterwards.

This group has been my go-to during my loneliest hours whenever I've had a "bag blowout" at 3am and there was no one else in the world to talk to.
Because it's a global community, there's always someone here to lend an ear, provide advice, and just hold my hand if that's all I need.
Sure, there's also a lot of camaraderie, fun topics, and laughs, but the main reason I come here is for the total acceptance I get from the members. No one else on the planet could possibly "get" what I'm going through, not even my loving husband or supportive family.
The "Meet an Ostomate" forum is definitely a one-of-a-kind family, which I am very proud to belong to.
