Hi. I have been diagnosed with a low fistula in ano after several painful abscesses in that region. I currently have a seton in place (the second one as the first one fell out after 6 days!). It's been nearly two weeks since this seton was put in and the first week was fine, much less painful that it had been for the first one but over the past few days I have developed a hard lump just behind the area where the seton is. My GP has examined me and confirmed that I have an infection and I'm now on antibiotics. The pain has been dreadful and the only place I am really comfortable is lying in a hot bath in the stirrup position!
Has anyone else experienced this?
