Brian’s story

August 11, 2012

Hey fellow sufferers, I discovered I had pilonidal cysts fall of 2011, and had immediately scheduled surgery in a month. Surgery wasn’t that bad, aside from shrugging off anesthesia, I took it easy for weeks till I had my drain removed and doc said I could start getting out if I needed to.

Well it never healed and I developed chronically infected tissue, so had surgery #2 scheduled, essentially the same process, only a bit more disfiguration. Drain comes out, I seem to be healing quicker and better, Doc says im good. NOW its bleeding again and doc says I have small ulceration. FEEL LIKE IM BACK AT WHERE I WAS BEFORE SURGERIES, so frustrating…
