Hi..I'm new to this site. I had surgery last month to remove a horseshoe fistula. I feel better now but still have drainage and need to wear a sanitary pad. I'm supposed to see my doctor in 2 weeks so he can remove some of the stiches. I was tested for Crohn's and don't have it or IBD. I guess my question is how long until I'm a 100% better. I'm so tired (and embarassed) that I have to wear a sanitary pad every day! I just want my normal life back.
