Hi
I am glad to see such a great support group .... I am reading quite a bit and am now seeking help on my personal situation.
I had done fistulectomy + a fissure removed both at 6 O'clock position, exactly last Wednesday 8 days ago ... Doctor (A general surgeon) sad he removed the whole track about 4-6 cm. Stayed in hospital two days and now on 2 weeks rest. Medicine advised are Flagyl, Ceforuxime axetil, and Diclofenac sodium .... for additional pain management I take 2 500mg Paracetamol (not prescribed by Dr.)
TWO concerns:
1(ONE) Intense PAIN at Bowel movement ... right after first motion goes; there is intense pain around the anus and this is inspite of taking stool softner MOVICOL
QUESTION 2: Is it normal? what to expect and how long would it take to heal.
2 (TWO) The discharge from the site has been pinkinsh yellowish for first 3/4 days and then yellows (sometime brownish which i think is due to incontinence - as per Dr. a temporary phase) .... BUT I had lot of pain generally in the area around wound (and not the anus) and today the discharge was greenish yellow mucous type puss ........ which scared me to the point (you name it) ..... since this sort of pain and discharge I used to have before surgery?
QUESTION 2: Is it normal? I am meeting Dr. today ... any advice as to what to ask?
Thanks in advance to all helpers ....
