I used to get cysts like this. Not quite this severe. That gauze packing and unpacking process is some of the worst pain I've ever been in.

It really didn't look that bad on the exterior. Just a normal sized cyst. But I guess they must go crazy internally. I'll add a picture of the actual cyst pre-surgery once I find it. This is what the doctor pulled out: http://i.imgur.com/yuySD.jpg

Here are two pictures of the cyst before surgery. I guess it was kinda big but I never looked at it because of the position so I guess I never really thought about it.

did you ever try lancing it with the tip of a knife, or poking it with a needle or something??
judging by the before and after photos it must have been a pretty large cyst that went deep under the skin or something. was it painful to be sitting down and stuff??

Like most people I've had a lot of cysts. Mostly in my 20s that I can remember. Groin area, face, armpit, etc. And they feel like a ball inside your skin but they always went away within a week or less.
This special cyst (called a Pilonidal Cyst) does not go away. I never had it lanced but it was an endless cycle of scab, bubble, pop, good stage, re-bubble, re-pop, re-scab, etc.
In 1 year there might be 5 days where it gets extremely annoying. Most of the time it really wasn't that bad.
Now I just wait for the letter to come in the mail to see if they are going to side with me or against me on the appeal of an $8000 bill where I was told it would cost $570.
The analogy I use is like you see a house that you want. And you save up a bunch of money for it. You call Aetna Real Estate and they tell you it is $570,000. You think it is a little low so you call a 2nd Aetna Real Estate Agent. $570,000....Then a third: $570,000, they all say.
Then you buy it and a week later you get a letter from Aetna Real Estate saying: "Enjoy your new EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR HOME"

My lawyer/friend said you need to STOP posting about this on the internet right now, and contact an attorney to see your options. DELETE every post in this thread you've made, and hopefully the mods will go in and edit out anyone that's quoted you and lock the thread. This won't keep it out of Google Cache, but it'll make it harder to find. If this ends up in court, and somehow your posts make it into light, posting about this on a drug forum isn't going to help you out in your case.
Good luck.
