Update!
I had a follow-up with my doctor and unfortunately I have an infection. This week my butt was sore, but I thought it was due to me bleeding after a BM this week. I also thought I had been leaking, which I thought was normal due to the muscle being cut during the surgery. Well, I was leaking, but it was puss
My doctor said he had never seen someone get infected this late in recovery. I take a sitz bath and use a tucks pad every time I go to the bathroom, but the doctor said it can happen even if you clean it regularly. Such a bummer!
He had to squeeze the puss out (horrible experience!) and told me to come back in two weeks. If the pain gets worse I need to come back in immediately.
I haven’t found a post in here about infection, but I’m going to keep looking.
