Today, I discovered I have a cyst on my backside. I can't get it removed until Friday. I have to sit through four midterms this week. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Same thing different taste

I trust the doctor.

No, that's an abscess (pus-filled horror show). A cyst is a sac with a lining filled with fluid or debris, depending on the type of cyst.

Lean forward on your chair. Put the weight on your legs as opposed to your ass.

Even if you got it taken out, the stitches and cuts from the procedure would hurt more. I just got one taken out

been there before good luck to you

Actually it's caused by an ingrown hair

Ouch, that sucks. But after the surgery, wouldn't it still hurt to sit down for a while?

Its called a Polinidal Cyst. Last year I ended up getting the same thing. It most definitely sucked because I was in college, and worked part time. Except mine got infected so bad that hey had to lance it before I could go into surgery. So I got to wait a lovely 2months to get mine removed.. Woohoo... Hope you feel better though. Use a butt cushion, it helps!

My friend has one and can't get it removed till next month

at least it's not on your ass

My husband has a pilonidal cyst and is getting it excised in 2 weeks. Poor guy! If it is bleeding or pussing, I suggest using a pantyliner wherever on your bum it is located.

Oh damn. Been there before...twice within a few years. It sucks.
