So the last time I posted I had a perianal abscess drained and I currently have a fistula that is draining. My colorectal dr. Believes I have crohns but I'm not on any meds for it! So it's about a year later, I have been having "pain" near my tailbone, just feels like i sat too long or something, but today I was trying to feel around if anything was going on and felt a small bump right below my tailbone. My last bump turned out to be an abscess that had to be drained, anyone have experience with this? Could this be another sign that I have crohns or just a fluke? I really hate calling my dr......:/

Look up pilonidal cyst. See if that matches your symptoms.

Thanks Jan, I don't know for sure, you can't see the bump from the surface it's defenitly underneath the skin. Are piolidanal cysts related to Crohn's disease at all?
Not to my knowledge, just bum luck...
They can be a real pain in the ass, so to speak, and have a tendency to recur.
