OH MY…
by: john on Mon, Sep 28 2009

Well it all started about 4 years ago, i had a fistula. they lanced it in the hospital, i stayed for 3 days,and 3 times a day they pulled the old packing and repacked it. now that was painful. i have had a couple of back surgeries,and those did not compare to when they had to repack that hole in my backside.well now 4 years later, i thought that a hemorrhoid had taken the place where the fistula was but of course i was wrong. I’m having surgery tomorrow to completely remove the fistula because it never fully healed and it has been oozing and bleeding alot the last couple of months. self diagnosis works if you cut your finger but if you cant see it, let your doctor diagnose it. i could of spared myself a lot of pain and anguish.
