Going back to work in a few weeks and still have 3 Setons in and a drain coming from the Abscess. I tried a donut pillow when all these issues first started and it wasn't comfortable. I was thinking of buying a boppy pillow (like you'd get for newborns and babies) to sit on. My job is 8hrs of mostly sitting! Any advice from those in a similar boat??

Hello there, I just really wanted to reach out to say I've felt your pain! For me, thankfully remicade closed my fistula and no more need for setons. A usual sofa cushion was my ally through my time, it's got to be worth trying all options though. I know I also used to sit angled on the cheek that wasn't affected, must have looked quite strange but it gave a lot of relief. Wishing you well, and I hope you find something comfortable.

Thanks Debbie! That's what I do, sit at an angle haha or sit on my feet with my leg tucked under me. I can't wait to have all the equipment, so to speak, removed! Thanks for your reply!
