Reply to "Can a sinus tract get worse ?"

This is good advice @Jan Dollar. I know this thread is old and wasn't about me but I'm starting to think less is more when it comes to surgery. Im in the hospital now with a mystery tract that might be a fistula or a sinus and just reading through people's stories to find commonalities and it seems like my team here is doing the conservative approach rather than leaping to conclusions to get me in the OR.

My symptoms have improved somewhat with laxatives and tylenol. And maybe addressing some fluid near my tailbone in some way but surgeons here think another operation would be more risk than benefit.
