Hey folks, I'm looking for an "is this normal?" check.
I had a seton placed almost 4 weeks ago in a shallow fistula near my anus. The external inscision is mostly painless, but my rectum is in agony, like razor blades slicing inside. Also throbbing, and spasms of all my pelic floor muscles and bottom on the opposite side from the inscision. The silicon loop appears to be giving me piles (?) too. There is a very minimal amount of thick yellow discharge from the inscision, but I bleed a lot when I have a bowel movement (soft, shouldn't be causing trauma).
The doc did bloodwork and a CT at two weeks to rule out infection. Results all negative.
I can only walk 10-20 feet, or stand still for 2-3 minutes, before slicing agony ensues, and I have to lay down-- sometimes right where I'm standing.
The surgeon seems unconcerned because we ruled out infection, but I can't function and it seems to be hurting more each day.
IS THIS NORMAL?
