Hello,
I am new to this group. I have been active in ibdsupport.org forums. I dont have UC or Crohn's. I was diagnosed with a rectal abscess in Nov 2013. A General Surgeon incorrectly operated on me and made it easy for a fistula to form. Thanks to GS, I ended up with a high anal (6 to 7 CM) Trans-Sphinteric fistula. I then found a good CRS and have undergone multiple I&D surgeries - 6 in all. But no relief in pain level of 7 or 8. CRS will not perform fistula repair until the I show "progress" from I&D.
God bless us.
