Abscess and Fistuales

Does anyone out there suffer from these awful and most painful by products of this wonderful disease.

I get some of the biggest plums(abscess) you could imagine right around the anus and once those decide to drain then the excrushating pain of the fistulaes start up, any help for these problems?

Baths are my usual favorite cure for the crapming and such but for these nothing so far just grin and bare it so far!

I have some, but luckily nothing that needs to be drained as of yet.
The meds have been helping reduce them.

I had one, and it had to be drained. Then I was on antibiotics for a while and it kept dormant for a while. Eventually it was filling faster than it was draining and I had to have it surgically removed. (Which was a REALLY sucky and painful surgery - but now worth it.) Remicade and Humira are supposed to work well at keeping fistulas (fistulae?) dormant.
They gave me some lidocaine ointment for it - yeah, not a big help.

I have 3 draining constantly ,Cipro,Flagyl Remicade help
to slow down the drainage.
There are several threads posted on here under fistulas
