fistulotomy incision won't heal, any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Elise - oh these AF horrors we have all known. How I can
sympathize. All I can say is explore all your options: perhaps a
second procedure with a different CRS? So many of us on this site
will unfortunately always be compromised in the AF area probably
forever, so we do the best we can holistically with diet, relaxation,
enemas, whatever it takes. But even I have a tiny bit of bleeding on
occassion since my second procedure since January, but fortunately no
pain and it never lasts very long. But still, very careful with the
diet, etc. So maybe a second opinion for you? Every two weeks to
have the incision re-open may be fixable by surgery. But believe me;
I totally understand the frustration...
