So i have a peri rectal fistula. Its a complex fistula in that it is horseshoe shaped and deep. I had a seton put in just over a yr ago.
It started as a large(fist sized) abscessed that ruptured and i refused packing--coudnt stand the pain-- it began to heal nicely, then one day i was in pain again, and thats when they told me ti was a fistula. I also have one in my my other bum cheek now as well. Both are with in centimetres from my anus.
It weeps when i have a lot of D and then aches as well. Does anyone else experince this?I have discovered that i will feel a bad ache in my butt cheeks when i need to have a BM and sure enough about 15 min alter i am running to the bathoom. Does anyone else feel this? The ache is better after the BM although there are days when having BM make it worse. Espcially if its been a bad bathroom day.
So now, a year and half after all this started, my GI has suggested either Humira or Remicade to heal them.
What about the drain? Will that come out before i start or with i heal with it in? Or? I just have no idea what i am in for. And i find i am stressing about it more and more......
