Pilonidal Excision 8 Week Post-Op

A new pit had developed, but the surgeon opened it up so that the cavity would fill in. We are now packing the lower portion of the wound. There is no tunneling, so at least that is good news!

Sorry to keep bugging you! For 6 years my tailbone hurts to sit, laydown & walk! A MRI just showed some arthritis! So I just accepted it, BUT you can feel a hard plum sized lump. A ultrasound saw a "boney growth" since then I have had steroid injections into this - which were BEYOND painful! I STILL have this "thing" looking at your videos, I'm starting to think that it might be this! Did your tests show similar things &would you do this again? thankyou

@bambis46 I had a colonoscopy at one point but everything was normal. I also had the lump, which was extremely painful at times. Have any of your healthcare providers considered a pilonidal cyst? It's been a while since I've been on here, so I apologize if I've missed one of your previous posts.

@gavman21734 So far I've been healed for a couple years now. I'm hoping I won't have any more flair ups.

MY BIGGEST ADVICE TO EVERY PERSON WHO HAS OR EVEN THINK HE/SHE HAS PILONIDAL CYST, PLZ PLZ PLZ CHECK WITH UR DOC COZ U WOULDNT WANT IT TO GROW BIGGER, COZ F IT DOES THEN IT WILL HURT MORE AND RECOVERY TIME WILL BE LONGER N TRUST ME ITS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE

i had my surgery done 2 weeks ago and i feel pretty good. I got the surgery i think it was called lancing im not sure but i have a big cavity above my butt crack so what they do is pack it with gause and clean it. my sister does the packing and a nurse comes 2 a week and I go to the doctor 1 a week or a week and a half. i suggest if you think you have one get the surgery done yeah i was scared and didnt do anything untill the pain didnt even let me stand up right. got questions cvrv.11@gmail.com

@imbtrthenu did yours drain after the surgery? how long after did the effects of the surgery stop affecting your day-to-day life? i had mine sealed up too. did it ever come back

[Cardskid131]

hey man, i feel your pain, i had mine taken out 3 weeks ago and the drainage is terrible. how long did it taken for it to completely close up? did the draining stop before it completely healed? Ive seen your year and a half later video but did it close up before then?
