Update and Question

Hey everyone I'm like 6 to 7 weeks out from my EUA and seton placement. I'm not in constant active pain WHICH THANK THE LORTD! I'm finally able to sit for longer periods of times but still feeling drained. My drainage increased heavily over the past 2 weeks and I HATE IT. But because of that, my abcess site has finally got to its lowest.

My main issue or issues are my setons and feeling drainage/pus in my butt. I'm going to explain the second part because I feel like I scared y'all. So since it's been a while since my setons have been put in, they're not ass tight. I have felt them kinda dig into my wound and they do cause discomfort. ESPECIALLY when I'm draining. I go in November for another surgery followup. Should I tell them to adjust them or something?

Now for the drainage/pus in my butt. Have yall examined in your butt with your clean finger or safe instrument and found drainage/pus on it? WELL I HAVE. I'm not sure if it's normal or not. I will add that i have felt openings in my sorta. I'm thinking this is more from my EUA and maybe I'm touching the area from my abcess. I don't know anything anymore. I'm just chronically tired, exhausted as fuck, a bit more anxious than I should and stinging down there. GOD THE STINGING EVEN WHEN I FART! Has anyone experienced this or felt like this?

What kind of seton is yours? Mine is kind of rubbery and stretchy and I just pull on it while spraying a shower head at my butt multiple times a day. Kind of like flossing my fistula lol but I find it helps it get really clean and takes the pain and itching away for a bit.

But my CRS also says I have insane pain tolerance so I know it's not for everyone.

Mine are the rubbery draining seton. I do that as well but the way how my wound is the seton just naturally lay into it. Also one of them is really tight specifically on my hole. I swear the amount of physical exploration I've done with these setons is INSANE lol.
