And now I'm getting a cold. :( Will they still do surgery if I'm sick? Jobell- I'm so sorry for your pain, but it's nice to have another butt buddy!...
Oh Alex, I'm so sorry! I hope the pain isn't too bad and that your fistulas heal well. They are such nasty little buggers. My Dr said she can't lay mine all the way open as it goes too high, but...
Well my friends, it appears there is more surgery in my future. I saw the colorectal surgeon today who confirmed my fears that the plug is not working and there is residual infection. So I go back in...
The surgeon didn't seem too concerned, but he never does. Back on flagyl and percocet, which aren't coming close to touching the pain. On the bright side, I followed up with my gastroenterologist who...
I'm in so much pain again! I stayed in bed for a week after the fistula plug surgery praying it would take. I was down to a manageable level of discomfort and anxious to get back to my life. Then...

Thank you so much for understanding. I'm literally in tears now because someone gets it. I'll see what he says tomorrow, but I can't live like this, so I may need to fina another surgeon. This is all...
Thankfully my boyfriend of eight years is here to take care of me. I can't even sit upright. I had an inconclusive colonoscopy in the spring, and will be sent back to the gi Dr once this infection...
Let me say, December was awful. I developed a perirectal abscess and had emergency surgery with a spinal Dec 4th. The surgeon packed the wound and I was in the hospital 2 days. Packing came out out...
