I didn't make that up.  That's what they do for hemorrhoid surgery.  My sister's a G.I. nurse.  River Wolfe wrote: ROTFL, I laughed so hard at this picture of butt cheeks taped to the rails, tears are running down my CHEEKS...

Air would help it, but I can not imagine taping your butts to the bed rails. I am willing to try anything. The wound doc has us packing it with new gause soaked in clorox solution. What I don't understand is how can it heal up when it's packed?Thanks for the advice.

I'm having trouble visualizing where your sore is.  Do you have to actually spread your cheeks to see it?  If so, it might just need some air.  Find a way to keep your cheeks apart while you lie on your side or better yet your stomach.  For hemorrhoid surgery, you lie on your stomach and they tape your butt cheeks to the bed rails to hold them apart.  Careful with the tape if you try that.  Don't want to get sore from the tape.  Eric
