Hi, all I just have a question for you guys about life after surgery. I had a large pilonidal cyst about 7 years ago the doctors said it was quite large I was put under 4 times and kept in the hospital for 2 weeks as I received treatment. The doctor said it was congenital and ended closing the area rather than leaving it open. Anyways to this day I often get aches and tenderness in the evenings and was wondering if anyone ells gets this as well. I am so nervous about developing one again and don’t know if the aches are normal.

    Hi, I had mine removed 2 months ago, and I've just been cleared to be able to sit down properly. I work in an office so I'm sat down all day and I've started getting aches too, it goes numb also, has this happened to you? I wasn't sure if it was normal either since it's not been long since my surgery! have you found the answer to whether or not that's a sign to it coming back? Hopefully not!
