sorry the cream isnt helping Laura :hug: if you dont mind me asking wont heat draw it out? instead of shrinking, I'm asking cause i am not sure. I hope you get to feeling better soon laura:hug:

Heat will hopefully draw it out... it's not getting smaller, it's getting larger.

Luckily I can still tolerate a hot bath, and that's what I did. Laid in there for an hour with my book with the cyst in hot water haha.

That's normal too, Laura. Just be thankful you don't get them on your face as I have had a dozen or more there. :eek:

Cherie

Ouch Cherie. I'm sorry hun, that sounds DREADFUL.

Speaking of dreadful, I finally gave in and went to the ER last night. Around Midnight. Thinking... Wednesday night, not busy... Oh, you'd be surprised.

Finally my name was called at 7 am. I went in and the doctor lanced it, and drained it. It was a LOT of puss (sorry for getting graphic here). She packed it, and sent me along with a note to take back to the ER Saturday at 9am to have the packing out, and inspect the area with the doctor on call.

So much relief having it out. I have a digital photo of it, but I'll spare you folks unless you want to see the 'before' shot :p

Oh my Laura, I saw the cyst pic - that *really* looked painful. So glad you were finally able to get some relief.

Glad you saw it! Can you believe it? Myspace deleted it, and I got my first 'violation' warning. I believe they thought it was a boob shot. :rolleyes: ROFL!!!!

:ROTFLMAO:

I bet you're right! That is just TOO funny!

Oh laura~ so glad you got that taken care of. That's exactly what the Dr's did to my DS's. It had been round and hard for years and then all of a sudden one day, wham ~ it was inflamed, big time. I bet you are so relieved. I also could not believe how much packing they put in there.

Hope it's feeling a lot better now. take care laura.

Thanks DM :) Packing comes out tomorrow! Then I'll see what they say beyond that I guess :)

Just checking in to see how it's going Laura and if the packing's out. :hug: BTW I had one of these guys on my tailbone and *trust* me, I still remember how painful it was. I did have to have surgery later to remove the cyst.
