Hey! Ive had the surgery on october 1st, and the cyst was located central over my tailbone with large internal lateral extensions. The wound was closed w stitches , right in the center on the spine between buttocks, about 10cm long, and the Dr told me it would take about 2/3 months to be 100%. I still have discomfort and bad days, so i don't know how long it will take to get over this nightmare... Can anyone help? Thank uu

      This big yes.

      I had the cyst lanced about 10years ago. And it stayed controlled until this last year, that's why I had the surgical removal.

      I was just curious because I've just had my 6th surgery this disease is hell!!!

      Have you had a check up with the surgeon and or dr? You could request an ultrasound to make sure it's healed properly
