For people who have had a fistulotomy and have since healed- did you notice any occasional tightness from the scar area? I have no pain (except for the occasional split second pinch or sting) but I can "feel" where the wound was when I sit down...it feels tight in that area. I've never had any other major surgery that involved a large scar so I have nothing to compare it to. Is this normal? I have no discharge and no bulge...in fact it seems the hard parts of the scar are starting to fade slowly. Also, when do you think it is safe to go back into the spa/pool? 3 weeks ago my surgeon said it was 99% healed and that I should be good to go into spa at 1-2 weeks. I called for another appointment last week to make sure it was fully closed, but they said they didn't think it was appointment worthy so long as I had no drainage or major pain. There is a minor "weird" discomfort occasionally, can't really describe it....not pain, just a weird feeling. I assume this is all normal. I am probably having anxiety for nothing; I don't have Crohn's or anything else and I'm a young, healthy powerlifter, so I assume I should be in the 95% that don't have recurrence hahaha :)
