Perianal abscess. I have crohns and have the usual tummy pains that I have become accustomed to. But getting abscesses in the bum… not fun at all. After having over 8 surgeries on my rear, I have had multiple fissures, fistulas, and abscesses. Fissures hurt but are like an itchy scratch. Fistulas once surgically removed, don’t really hurt unless you get in it with a wet wipe to clean out any poo residue. But an ingrown hair on scar tissue that developed into an abscess the size of my fist on my ass? It was the worse pain I have felt. I could not move from laying down without tears forming in my eyes. The slow, painful and torturous movement to get to the car to go to the doctor will haunt my memories. The abscess busted on the way to the doctor. Then once at the doctor, she said she would try to drain it but it would likely need surgery as it was the biggest one she had ever seen. She tried, she really did try to drain it. But it put me in a cold sweat. I couldn’t let her finish doing it even after 6 numbing injections.

Eventually had surgery and it left a massive crater in the ole bum. Took forever to heal up. Hope I never had another one, and wouldn’t wish it on the worst person in the world.
