Hi Thanks for getting back to me, it's a very strange fact it would seem that the surgery was successful but the recovery half kills you. I began to think I was on my own, how do you treat it, how do...
Can anyone tell me if it's normal for my Fistulotomy scars to be really sore and painful two years after surgery. Can't find the trigger for what inflames the site but maybe coffee allergy/reaction...
Doctor thinks now that it may be an irritant dermatitis from using a different laundry detergent. It is possible because the sore patch is on the surgery scar and I guess it's all new skin down there...
Hi I am back with a huge problem with incredible pain and sore skin on the scars from my Fistulotomy which I had over two years ago. I get a deep bruised feeling from within the buttock and the skin...

Hi Just grabbing at straws I guess, there has to be an answer to what is causing the irritation and sore patch but can't seem to be getting anywhere. Cut out lactulose now but early days so will have...

Hi scifigal Great to hear from you, I know you have been suffering a lot longer than me but I feel for me it's been a long two years. You could be right about the amputee syndrome, it is really a...
No not on any bilogics. I have had some input from a freind who suggested that it may be a reaction to anti biotic, last Tuesday I finished a double course of flagyl and amoxicillin. My freind said...

Thanks for the response, it would seem that the blood test I had has come back normal, no sign of infection, as did the urine sample. Temperature normal and so is pulse. I can only think that I have...
So, it's looking like I have another abscess, pain in right buttock when sitting, slightly sore and red around the anus. I can feel a tiny swelling inside my rectum on the left side which could be a...
OK So went to see my doctor, he examined me and ruled out any obvious infection, temperature normal, pulse OK. He could not detect any obvious lumps or abscess and is at a loss as to what is causing...
