Hey,

I had a pseudocyst in my abdomen once my neurosurgeon drained the fluid and change the shunt tubing within two weeks or so it was back. Before I had the ETV procedure done, I went to ultra and had the cyst sucked out with a volcano bottle. Relief was instant but with in 9 hours that following morning after the procedure the cyst was back a the end of the tubing and look exactly the same size as the night before.

Crazy the way our bodies work.
