Am new and happy to be here!!

I started this journey with a peri-rectal absecess that the doctor said was the size of a baseball. It took 4 years and several surgeries before finally getting all of it to heal. Now every couple years I find a fistula.2 years a go they went in to fix and there was 3 instead of 1.My Christmas present this year is another and bigger then last time. Am really scared to find out what is there this time. Am wanting to get through the holidays before seeing my doctor who is a colo-rectal specialist. Was happy when I found u guys that know what kind of pain this is and how hard it is to deal with.
