Chris’s story

June 3, 2011

I’m 16, 5’10 155 pounds and have had this cyst since I was 12. I had my first flare up last year from the main pit. I was in so much pain I couldn’t move. I went through all the necessary procedures I’m sure you (nervous reader) have already read.

When the infection was healed, I went in for surgery at Loma Linda Faculty Hospital in California. I was nervous before getting the surgery. I was put under and woke up an hour and a half later very delirious. I was making very loud jokes under the morphine about how the nurses saw my penis, and was embarrassing my parents, haha.

Today I had my stitches removed and had a full recovery. Listen, nervous reader, the surgery is not bad at all and close to painless after leaving. And for the record, ladies, your butt looks completely normal after the surgery. I hope my story has inspired you to have the surgery and get rid of all that pain.
