Alicia, no advice but I hope it works for you!! I have the seton now and going back to see the surgeon on the 14th to see if it's ok to try the plug. He couldn't do it initially because of and abscess that was still there, so I came home with the seton instead... stay in bed and give it all the chance you can to work.....

Hi Alicia,

Just don't strain or push too hard when using the restroom. I hope the plug works! It would be nice to have that thing close up.

Good luck with the plug Alicia. I'll be keeping everything crossed that this works for you.

Luv & hugs

Alicia, just wondering how you're doing? Let us know.

bump

My plug was inserted last week and initially thought it was falling out as a white bump has appeared the size of a pea after 5 days. Ill monitor it from here on

The plug appears to have worked, but I am still experiencing pain from the wound and the former fistula, but it can be difficult to diagnose where the pain is exactly coming from. Either way, Im getting there, but its a long road for me
