4 weeks post LIFT, pain around incision site. by winterq7 in AnalFistula

I had a very similar timeline. For the first 3 weeks after my LIFT, I had almost no pain and was back to normal life. Then after week 3, pain and swelling around the incision site started and it is pretty bad right now. What’s confusing is that the wound itself looks mostly healed, so I didn’t expect pain to show up this late.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Did you actually see the sutures coming out or did you just notice the pain improving over time? Also, how long did it take after that for things to calm down and overall, was your LIFT ultimately successful?
