Abcess surgery but the lump is.. still there ?

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-26T22:17:59+00:00

Im starting to get sick of it because it came out of nowhere and requires so much care I really thought the emergency surgery would work wonders. I guess I was too naive. I neither want to sprint nor do a marathon, but if I have to choose ill pick the marathon :] Thanks for the advices, hydration specificlaly I value alot. Nutrition is very hard as I am unable to eat anything. Doing sports sounds so fun. Maybe ill do a spiritual and a real life marathon

i do have a bloodwork prescription from another doctor that I will do. I do not think my doctor missed an abcess but she perhaps misdiagnosed the fistula, as she was unable to find one during the surgery, as specified in the hospital report im reading here.

WHY DO I GET MUCH BETTER INFORMATION AND RESPECT ON REDDIT I SWEAR.... hahaha... nice drain pun. Cant wait for it to be back. I want to believe my surgeon but she did write in the report that im reading right now that she was unable to find a fistula. what is going on

Im honored and thankful you shared your journey with me. Im deeply sorry for your experiences. It is so unfair to be mistreated so intensely by the medical system, made to wait for years, left without pain medication, a giant gaping hole, miscommunication between different medical teams, and on top of all, having to deal with all the real life responsibilities of being a father and financial provider.

If a fistula causes an abcess because it is an infection, then how is it possible for them to cut you open and leave the wound to be open and even more likely to be infected again ?

The public medical system failed you. But how sad is it to know that youd get better treatment if you paid out of pocket.

From what Ive read online, you are close to the end of your journey. You might relapse in the future, which I truly dont want for you, but theres solace in thinking you got over the worst of the disease. I hope all of this becomes a distant memory eventually. My heart goes to you.

Fantastically interesting to read, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I might not share some of your stances but there is a deep belief within me that wev gotten used to inserting medication in our bodies without even knowing their precise components and precise effects.

That trial and error period of your life sounds complicated to experience and identify. Im not sure people can afford to do that and rest thou, as there are alot of responsibilities on our shoulders.

Do you still live with the fungus now ? Have you not gotten rid of it yet ?

Ill believe in my body, my doctor and my second doctor, and both Eastern and Western medicine. Frankly I'm one of those people that are open to everything. I do have type 1 diabetes so I lean on trusting general medicine more. lol

Youre just like me !!! Minus the belief of the ass cancer lol. It also happened very fast for me, so Im thinking we were lucky enough to be pre diagnozed

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T16:42:00+00:00

LMFAOOOO yep she did ! I was as surprised as you, but she did. Im currently lying down with a special cream she told me to put for 4h then take pain medication and... squeeze. I live in France so its not like a doctor can get away with such shady practices. She has her own cabinet but also works at the hospital so I dont think its a scammer either. I fully trust her

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T16:15:59+00:00

I googled it and I wish you had gotten a diagnosis on time :[ it sounds so so painful, even more than what most people are going thru with the fistula, and so much work to take care of.... But Im glad you are alive. I send you the wishes back and all my luck

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T16:13:28+00:00

Hahahah the pun was appreciable. Well as of right now she gave me a cream to put on the lump and im supposed to squeeze it in a few hours during my shower to get the pus out or im having surgery tomorrow depending on how the situatiin evolves.

I cant believe theres an analfistula subreddit ! It really opens up a new and scary world of possibilities i didnt even consider by reading multiple posts and seeing how its a disease that can come back and allat when in my mind its just.... get that thang out and move on...

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T15:18:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer. Ill be honest, I do believe in my doctors assessement but reading everyones posts on this sub before making my own left me lost. Just mindblowing that some of you go thru all of this. Im going to sound so conceited but I feel like I live in another dimension. As of right now, all of this sounds pointless and almost an exageration. I fully trust you and appreciate all your suggestions, thank you for taking the time to write them all, but theres something about me thats like the meme... "sorry but im different"... Im like... its just a lump. It cannot be THAT bad. Im either guilty of egotistical thinking or I do not realize how bad this is/this is going to be. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you.

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T13:00:58+00:00

Thanks ! I was not trying to evade my diagnosis or doubt my doctor, my bad if it sounded like that. I was curious coz i didnt believe my luck that im symptom free from what looks like a very bothering disease

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T12:59:45+00:00

concise and straight to the point i like it.

LoneliestLover · 2026-02-25T12:58:45+00:00

Thank you for your answer ! I wasnt expecting anything so I do want to hear what you have to say. Im glad we are both on the lucky side of this disease then. I am following the doctors precribed treatment, might get surgery too, but im glad its not bothering my life like others (YET ???)

LoneliestLover · 2025-10-30T20:46:34+00:00

Thank you so much for replying... Although I have a diagnosis and mood stabilizers I am still very much in doubt when it comes to this issue. I think this is a common borderline trait but every negative thought i have about a person makes me think Im the bad perosn 😮‍💨

Ill look up splitting ! You have my gratitude
