Fistulotomy
by: Hs on Mon, Aug 04 2008

I had this proceedure done on Tuesday. It is now Saturday. its is still uncomfortable and annoying but it is definatley on the mend. The first day or two is very annoying especially after the surgery as you cannot do number 2! And when you can finally do number 2…that is very uncomfortable…. just sit there and take it really easy….no force or strain.

In my case the doctor prescribed panadine forte and brufen.
I think i took maybe 2 panadine forte for the pain and i was also a bit feverish….the Brufen on the other hand gace me really bad indigestion…..i thought i was seriously having an adverse effect but some tums and milk helped that go away….such a baby sometimes….

I went back to work on thursday and walking around and functioning as normal actually helped me to get the condition off my mind and focus on something else….

My only problem is that i am not sure how many days should i continue to do the sits baths….

Anyways hope this is good information….if it helps anyone…cool…

My abscess was very painful. I passed two kidney stones in my mid 20s. They did not compare to the feeling of being ripped in half while sneezing. [more..]
