well first off im 22. i had my first “flair up” when i was 19. i was working at a hotel at the time doing banquet set up and driving the shuttle bus. i had noticed some pain in my very lower back( other words my tailbone) and didnt think too much of it, well 3-4 days later i i culdnt not think about it, the pain was so f***ing intense i culdnt walk, lay, sit nothin and by day 6 i was crying my arse off. a couple of days later i saw a doc. he said it was a csyt but it wasnt full enough for him to lance it… that night it burst, the relief was amazing. about 6 mnths later it came back for a week or so then drained. then about 4 mnths it came back then every few weeks.a littl over a year ago it had been so bad i finaly went in and got it lanced( no insurance so i still owe the hospital $1200) now i live with it on a daily basis. sometimes i only need to clean and help it drain once a day, sometimes i need to tend to it 3 time a day,but no matter what it always hurts. theres times where its so full and tender that i cant drain it. for anyone reading this, KEEP IT CLEAN AS POSSIBLE.
im about 5 ft, 11 inchs tall and weigh about 220 so im on the heavier side also im pretty GD hairy so i guess those aid in the forming of cyst, any way good luck whoever you are.
