why do i keep getting these things, they are extremely painful. I'm at my wits end with these things, last time i had one i was in the hospital for a week. i've been tested for everything including cancer, but as of so far i do not have cancer. i'm on pain medicine and antibiotics, i have chronic diarrea. also i'm on lomotil and immodium, i have to wear a diaper all the time. if i sneeze or cough it comes out both ends. I'm a 45 year old women. this makes the 5th abcess in a year.
