I had my first flare up when I was 23….I had to have emergency surgery and the dr. was certain that he removed everything and that all was well.
Everything was fine until I was 25, 9 months pregnant and fell onto my tailbone. I had the cyst rupture literally 2 days before my delievery in 2003. Not fun. I have had several small falre ups since then, mostly when I was pregnant for the 3rd time in 2007. Last Oct. (2010) I had to go the ER and have it lances, something that I will never do again. Not only did the local not take, but I felt every inch of the scalpel and forceps. NEVER AGAIN.
So here I am, 12 weeks pregnant w/ baby #4 and my area is reinfecting. We are trying to treat it without lancing it, but I am not sure that it will work…..I am in intense pain, but can’t stop being a Mama!!! UGH!
