Hi all.. just joined after constantly reading everyone's support and advice on a range of issues. So helpful.
Within the last 18 months I had 4 abscesses before my fistula was found and in may i got a cutting seton.. painful. A month later I had another abscess at the old site and have had silver nitrate put on that wound the last 2 times ive had the seton tightened. "Coming along nicely" my surgeon said haha
But just as you see light at the end of the tunnel.. bam. Today my still open wound got sore and swollen so saw gp, she said looks ok but has bit of an discharge..
So now fingers crossed until i see surgeon in couple of days..
So had enough of it, just want a good ending to it
Anyone dealt with this ? Is it normal? Just wondered if its one end of the fistula still causing it until it gets cut through ? Any opinions appreciated .
