Sal and Res,
I have a similar issue where I still have a sore area near the incision site and just on the edge or opening of the anus. I too had an abscess which eventually 95% cleared up after taking the dreaded antibiotics. My first thought was I had a fistula, but my CRS was certain I hadn't as this virtually never happens with the LIS surgery. I am a lot better than I was, but I am concerned that this one area still seems to be sore with a few dabs of pus every so often, some two and a half months after my op (27th April). I'm also producing fairly large bulky motions, which doesn't really doesn't help a lot. I have sitz baths after every bowel motion which helps quite a bit. I'm trying to stay off all ointments as I was a slave to them for years. I also have an issue with weight, as I'm on a fairly low calorific diet. On the plus side, I think my fissure seems to be gone, even though it's not super comfortable passing motions.
