Sis, I had so much infection that it spread to my right hip and I could barely walk. I'm doing better now, although it's easier to lay on my side instead of sitting directly on it. Monday I see my regular doctor and to give me clearance to go back to work. I had this when I wa a kid in 1969 so I must be prone to getting them.Thank you, Sis, thank you for the well-wishes.Quote:

I wish you a speedy recovery!
Gin, I'm doing better today. Most of the soreness is gone,but I can still feel tenderness there. I can sleep on my side and it won't bother me much, but if I lay on my back, I can feel the tenderness. I get checked by the doctor on monday to find out when I can go back to work. Thanks for asking!Quote:

Hey there big bro, hope you are feeling better today and healing well, take care . :)
I'm feeling better, Sis. Most of the pain is gone although there is still some tenderness in that area when I sit down on it. Monday I'll have it checked and find out when I can go back to work.Quote:

Is this it?
My dear SO and FIL have had issues with these. The stuff that comes out of them is rank! Unfortunately they have a tendency to come back even after surgical removal.
Pretty close. The doctor said it was more like an infected abcess. Abot forty years ago, when I was 21, I did have have a case of pilonoidal(sp?) cysts and I was operated on for them. I think I'm prone to get them. The smell isn't great either!
Pilonidal cysts are common w/people who ride motorcycles and/or horses and people who sit at office desks all day. Do you do any of those things? A couple of years ago I thought that I might be getting one because I was riding on the back of a motorcycle nearly every day, so I gave it a rest and the pain went away. Sitting at my computer every day didn't help either, so I made sure I got up and stretched and walked around more.
Hi, Mary! No I don't do those things, but I'm a groundskeeper on a golf course and we drive around on our work carts alot which don't exactly have the greatest of all suspensions. It's hilly and bumpy on the course and that probably caused it to happen. At 60 my body isn't what it used to be!
