re: What can the OT tell me about Pilondial cysts?

I had one my senior year in high school. I played through it during football season but had it surgically removed after the season was over. I don't know what kind of anesthetic they gave me but the procedure didn't hurt and I was in and out during the surgery. I can remember a much older Doctor walking a young surgeon through it. When he was about to cut out the "sac' I remember the older doc saying "no, that's not it". Then I remember him saying "yeah, that's the good stuff, cut it out". The worst thing about this procedure is the first time that they take the packed gauze out of the open wound. It seemed like they just kept pulling gauze out and it would never end. I remember calling them every curse word in the book and my mom was pissed at me.
