The worse pain ever

Posted , 1 user is following.

It’s currently 5am but I have to write this before I forget. Back track to about a week ago, I felt something down there- something like a lump but I figured it would go away and that it wasn’t anything serious. It was more sore than anything. Id worn some tight shorts and a leotard that had buttons so I figured that’s probably what caused it. As the week progressed it became more uncomfortable as I walked or even moved. I tried to stay off my butt at work to get some relief but when that didn’t help I made an appt to see the obgyn. The nurse looked at it and said it didn’t look like a cyst had formed and that I should sit in a warm bath a few times a day to help reduce the swelling. The next day, I had to work and this job requires me to be on my feet all day. I took about 3 200mg  ibuprofens to get me through the day and that it did but when I got home the pain was suddenly worse! I couldn’t barely move without feeling the pain. That night I couldn’t sleep because the pain was so bad- it was like a pressure and throbbing pain. The next day was by far the worse. When I looked down to check out the area, it had gotten larger- kinda like the pictures you see online under the Bartholin Cyst images. I was terrified and considered going to the er until I spoke to a nurse on a 24 hour hotline and he told me I need to be religious with the warm bath and  The hot towel applications. After talking to him I found this thread and sent my bf to get these items ! Once I got the items, I mixed the ingredients  and left the cotton tab on there for about 30 mins followed by a 10 min warm bath. I waited about an hour to do the second round and did another cotton tab for about 25 mins followed by a hot/ warm towel in the area. After this I was ready to go to bed- couldn’t take the pain any more so I popped a sleeping pill and 2 more ibuprofens. I prayed that I would getter results that some of you did- the bursting of the cyst. Around 4 am I was awakened and I felt something slight down there so I touched it. It was very moist. I wasn’t sure it had popped but I figured it did once I tried to move around and saw that it wasn’t so painful as before. Luckily I slept with a towel undeath me and when I got up the towel was stained with what looked like a combination of blood and puss and there was also a funky smell accompanied with the discharge. When I say the relief was immediate, it was IMMEDIATE. I got up and showered a tried to squeeze all that I could out and then I cleaned it with the witch hazel. I’m so glad I found this thread because I believe that Phoebe concoction helped ! If you are experiencing this please give it a try. That pain was the worse pain I’ve ever felt in my life !!! Sorry for the long post but thank you ladies for sharing ! Oh and I’m 26 ! Xoxo
