Hello everyone.. Well im just going to cut to the chase here… I recently suffered and still am recovering from my surgery, but about a year ago I had an abssess near my tail bone area that kept getting worse n painful every year. .it would.go and come back. And finally last year (in august) the swelling came bck and It was unberable to sit, let alone have someone touch me in that area..i thought it was bc of my weight that this was happening. (i would slouch a lot in h.s, so I figured I put to much weight on my tailbone which was causing this).
So anywho, I went to the doc and to my surprise they told me I had MRSA/staph infection, which would have to be drained. The procedure was horrifying, eventhough I have a high pain tolerance but the local anesthesia is just very intense when being injected in the infected area. I cried, I cursed and screamed but was relieved at the end…i went about that year as normal, my wound closed (temporarily), then I began to notice it would blister and drain. .i thought it was normal. (should of guessed again!).it had been a year and it kept draining and wouldnt go away…so I decided to go see my doc.
She told me I had a Pilonidal Cyst that would have to be surgically removed. I was shocked and scared bc my first experience didnt go so well. (im paranoid now :/) so 2 weeks ago I got the surgery (september 25) and I havent had my stitches removed yet. (its october 4th now)..after 8days after the surgery I attempted to go to school (im a college student) and sitting was very uncomfortable, as well as driving…
Well, after my first day after surgery back to school, my right butt cheek started to burn from within.. (dont know if this is normal) and.the pain was unberable and I think.it was all due to the sitting, but idk. . I was suppose to have my stitches removed today but I cancelled bc its hurting really bad.. Until now the pain has eased off a bit…but my butt and the upper part of my stitches feel like a stinging, burning sensation.. (i had a closed wound about 3 inches long)… Im hoping resting and staying off my butt will help. Im just so afraid to have my stitches removed and afraid that it will be painful, considering im having somewhat of pain in that area. Im feeling really down in the dumps, and fearing the worst. 🙁
Thank you, and Good Luck to all.
