Winkie’s story

July 6, 2012

The first episode I had I was a senior in high school and couldn’t even roll over in the bed for a week. It has never gotten that bad again but lately my tailbone is staying really sore and I am scared I am fixing to have another flare up. I do believe this is hereditary because my dad, my son and my aunt all suffer from these cysts.

My aunt had hers removed when I was young and has never had another one lucky her. Just praying it continues to lie low!
