Knowing is half the battle...good idea to get an MRI and really see what the fistula looks like...then they can give you a sense of what will need to be done.

Wishing you the best -- keep us posted on the MRI.

Does anyone with an fisual feel it inside, I'm feeling a funny feeling to me it's like when I go to the toliet it sticks together and then when I'm sitting I can feel it like unstick! And the pain goes down!!!!! X

Why can't I find any up to date info from people with a fistula? ? And no one seems to be responding to my messages on all different topics??

Is there anyone on here with a fistula? ?

Katie, There are not always people on here who have had a fistula, so sorry nobody has replied to your particular question.

I believe you are seeing your doctor on the 6th, if I remember rightly, so you should get an answer then. I do know that they do an MRI to see where the fistula is located, its tract if I remember. It is a very good idea and a thorough surgeon would recommend this as a better view of the fistula's direction is found in this way. Fistulas usually follow on from an infection. I did mention on one of your posts as to whether you were taking antibiotics for this, but you did did not reply to the question.

I wish you all the very best with your doctor's appointment. Make sure that he/she answers all your questions; always a good thing to write them down or to have someone go with you.



P.S. We are all volunteers on here!

Hello thankyou yes I had meds for the infection I had the infection 7 weeks ago! So the infection has gone the doctors say!! But yes I will know more tomorrow I guess my MRI is on the 29th and then find out what's what the 10th jan sorry I don't mean to come across rude it's just a pain thing! And you just want to talk to others in the same boat but all the posts I find on this subject are years old never mind thankyou for your reply back :) x

So update I went to see the surgeon yesterday and she told me my tear could never heal because I had a skin tag up inside that was stopping it for all them years! The surgeon comformed I do now have a fistula and that will need to be sorted so another op! So because it's in the same area as my tear was they going to have to take the top off the tear to clean out and sort the fistula so I know I'm going to be back in so much pain!! But saying that in pain every day now!!!!!!!! But it's good to have a plan MRI on 29th dec then results on the 10th Jan and my surgeon said she has spaces to do the op so she will pencil me in so think it will be in January! But she need to make sure it's like she thinks and wait for the MRI xx

So let's hope after they clean and sort the fistula that will heal and then my tear will and life can get back to bwing pain free I know it will be a long road but I'm hoping I will get there xx

So sorry that you are in pain, but glad that you are going to get this sorted relatively quickly. Big hug!!

Having my fistula op tomorrow feeling scaryed x
