Hi All,

I am just a few days post op for laying open a fistula. I was thinking walking would be good to help with blood flow, but since the wound is new and raw i dont want to aggravate it.... Please can i have some views about when is good to start walking after this kind of surgery

Hello, I have had every kind of surgery almost that there is for a anal fistula and after each one the first thing they told me was to get up and walk. So, walking should not irritate it unless your doctor told you differently. It will hurt some, but it will be okay.

Hi tll,

Thats great, thanks for the reassurance.
