I writing to you from my hospital bed in the ER. So the last six months I have been suffering dealing with an abcess that created 3 fistulas. I've had a bunch of different procedures to have them each drained and closed up and am on the last one now that has been taking an awful long time. I was waiting to see my surgeon to set up the last procedure to close everything up. Well the last couple days I have been getting right lower flank pain around my kidney and then goes down towards my groin area. I ended up taking an ambulance to the hospital because the pain just continued to get worse. I was thinking something was wrong with my kidneys. The ran a bunch of test and a CT Scan. Come to find out I now have an abcess inside pressing on my small instenstin and urethra making it difficult for urine and stool to pass through. The fun never ends I tell you. Sometimes I think I wasn't meant to get better. Have any of you had a similar experience? Is the other abcess I've been battling related to or the cause of this? Thanks for reading.
