aka "truckers but"
I spend alot of time driving....and pretty sure I have a tailbone cyst.
Its pretty common, so im sure someone here has had one.
Wondering if anyone has had any luck with alternatives to surgery?
thanks

i got one when i was in college rowing. not sure if rowing had anything to do with it though. I just saw a doc who lanced it, drained it, and packed gauze into it for a few days to promote healing from the inside out. He said there was a chance it would come back, since the actual cyst hadnt been removed, but it hasnt yet (18 yrs).
Just get your girlfriend to pop that pimple on your butt. ;)
Yeah, had one excised. It sucked, but was better than having it. They can manifest in several ways (some of them very painful and exceptionally disgusting).
They now normally try antibiotics and sitzbaths before cutting as a last resort.
The success rate of the procedure has increased significantly since my father had his done three times several decades ago, but success is still not guaranteed and once you've been cut on, if it reoccures your pretty much guaranteed to get cut on again.
fucking eh.....it comes and goes in cycles, and right now its particularly bad..
do I have to go to a specialist of any kind, or just a regular doctor?
either way I dont have a doc in boulder....who would the mags recommend?
thanks

I've had one as well--thought I was growing a tail. One of the shittiest things I have ever been through; had to go to the Dr. for four or five straight days for slitin', drainin' and packin'--driving there/getting in and out of the car was damn near debilitating. You can go to a normal Dr.--simple procedure. The most difficult part is not clenching up your ass checks as the Dr. is at work. This was about 8 years ago. No recurrance for me (knocking on major wood).
i'm sure blurred will lance that thing for you. just ask.
Hey poser, did you get that money order I sent you or what?Quote:

Try to find one who practices the flap technique, and not the open wound healing. Recovery time is much faster with the flap, and a lot less of a hassle. Life is not that great after the surgery,but you can be back to driving in a week or so.
If you have any other questions, shoot me a pm and I would be glad to give you more advice.
fuck...yet another bad flare up.....
I kinda want surgery, but I simply dont have the time to be debilitated....
it really makes class a PITA (pun intended) because alot of my classes are long cause im a film major...
today for instance: I sat from 9-10, 1-2, 3-5:30, and 6-9:15.....
fuck, this is so dumb
I've had the same problem for a while. I haven't been too keen on seeing a doc for the same reason. I can't afford to spend several weeks recovering, especially during ski season. Fortunatlly I haven't had any flareups I can't deal with. From what I've read none of the current procedures a gauranteed effective and all require a significant recovery. I'm holding out for a better option. http://www.pilonidal.org
I have heard some good things about lasers......whats is odd about mine is that it appears to be deep under the skin. I went to a doctor a month or so ago and she said it was not ready to get operated on. Its never bloody or anything like alot of peoples are, its just a very painful bump on my tailbone...Quote:

dude, just buy a roid doughnut to sit on and don't worry about it. Anybody hassels you in class just tell em you made $27,500 last night man whorin and your cornhole is a little tender, thanks.
Had one, mostly from sitting on boats alot. Anyway, i took anitbiotics and eventually it went away. It occasionally flares up but only mildly.
My was bad but the Dr. felt i should try the non surgical first.
So far so good.
Hey cutie! I'll pop your bootie pimple if she wont!Quote:
