I had an infection in the wound a week post-op, which cleared up with antibiotics. On tuesday, after feeling like everything was going well and I was healing, I had all the symptoms of a fistula back - pain, itching and discharge.
I saw my CRS last night and he draws me diagrams! He showed me where the muscle is, and where the fistula had gone through it. He said he laid it open up to the muscle, but the fistula was still in the muscle. As the swelling goes down, it then enables the fistula to drain through the open track! So the drainage was ok. He did say he might order an MRI at my check up in august, just to make sure the fistula wasn't tracking upwards (Holy cr*p, that's all I need!! ) but, although it's still an open wound, it's all fine.
PHEW!!
I just thought that might help someone going through the same thing!
