Sue,
Sorry I've not been here for a while but truly sorry to read you've been blessed with yet another issue! So sorry - you've been struggling so much this year with it all but like the others on this site, you all have so much courage and determination to just get on with it. I have so much respect for you all. The link with the coccyx pain and pilonidol cyst would make sense but you might remember, I had the same issue before diagnosing my fistula. 3 GPs told me it was pilonidol. Only the EUA confirmed the fistula.
The cyst can be easily treated, even though totally appreciate it will mean a few more weeks of discomfort and recovery. Bless you........I so hope 2013 will bring you the break you need with all of this and to everyone else too........
Try not to stress too much. The antibiotics should clear any potential infection and you do need to take them. Take things day by day and Xmas or no Xmas, there will be emergency medical help at hand should you need it (but hopefully, you will be absolutely fine)...
One thing at a time... and it's natural to be worrying with what you've been through, but you will be OK xxxx
Chronic Fissure diagnosed December 2011
Healed by Diltiazem around Feb 2013
Anal Fistula followed burst abscess in June 2012
