re: Insane cyst removal video

I finally watched it. All I can say is...

First you make a Roux...

I've had it lanced twice already. The second time they left a hole open so it could drain instead of filling up. Its not very painful now but it drains constantly. I have to keep folded up toilet paper over it at all times, like a maxi, or it leaks thru my pants. Just last week I had to leave work early because I looked like a girl that wasn't ready for her period to star

How is this better than packing it with gauze for six weeks and being done with it for good? Just do the surgery already.

holy hell i'm worn out from watching that. he had to have had some sort of local anesthetic right?

They probably did a maxillary nerve block. This can be done through the mouth, as in the pic below, or through the skin of the cheek.

I had one several years ago from a spider bite. Decided to go into the ER to get it taken care of and I was in and out within 10 minutes I think. Nurse came in, numbed it, lanced it and then popped it. I remember seeing a string of pus fly like 10 feet in the air.

They didn't use anesthesia

Also, they got the whole sack but didn't include all of that in the video.

You sure that wasn't an abscess from a miss?

yea, positive

Actually had smashed my and at the pool or something then the bruising and hurting went down in a few days and then the little cyst just starts to pop up....

The few nights after each slicing open and cleaning trying to sleep the thing was throbbing and hurting soooooo damn bad. If I just barely moved any digit on my hand the pain just shot up my arm. Crazy bad hurt.. I didn't get a wink of sleep.

At the time I was in recovery and I couldn't/wouldn't take a single perc either but doubt they would have helped even a little bit.

Mine was an abscess.

The way you describe yourself after you popped it is simulator how mine felt before itbwas popped/drained. But not as bad as yours sounds, although headed in that direction if I had waited.

You could feel the heat in it and was all red and swollen and getting bigger and redder by the day.

It would throb when I held my arm down to my side/below my heart, but all that was just minor. And I had her lance it before it got too big because I knew it was infected based on the heat, swelling and throbbing and wasn't just going to go away. Plus chicks get off on shite like that/popping zits/etc.

I learned to be more careful after that (although Ive always been anal/a germophobe since I got older. I did not want to end up with Staph or some shite.

If I remember in the morning...or later in this morning and feel like it, I will download the photo bucket app on this phone and load/post the pics. Which as I said before, they aren't anything compared to the video in the OP or some of the other cysts described ITT.

Im calling it a night after this wall if text.

Been there done that. Be prepared not to do anything for a while. Sleeping and sitting are a bitch. Hope you have a good doctor.

How do I know if I have a good doctor or not?
I met with the surgeon, and he was very short with me. Was like "yeah I'll take it out for you if you want. But the recovery period sucks. And sometimes they get infected again."
Which doesn't seem too far from what I've read everywhere else

I removed some mango fly larvae from my girlfriend's lower back once. It was brilliandt.

I still have a hole in my back from a cebaceous cyst removal. It fills up with a several drops of water in the shower. If I forget to dry it thoroughly with a towel, I'll reach back at work and feel a wet spot on my shirt.
