This. Wow. No one told me what exactly was going down. I drove myself to the doctor's office (bad move). They gave me local anesthetic which doesn't work on infected tissue I'm told. Dude goes to town with a scalpel and I had to make them stop because I thought I was going to vomit. They then packed a couple of feet of iodine soaked gauze into the new hole in my back and told me to pull a foot of it out every day until it was gone. Awful.


I was put under to remove mine. Recovery was pretty awful though because they leave the wound open and I had to pack it with gauze 2 or 3 times a day until it closed up. That took a few weeks. None of it was all that painful, just a bit unpleasant.

This also sucked, had this done in high school. Luckily my cousin is a nurse so she was able to pack it for me. That was miserable.

Weird. They filled mine with the gauze then I had to pull about 6-12" out every day. Of course, it's in the small of my back right above my arse and is really hard to reach. My wife faints at the sight of blood so there's no way she can help.

The bitch was driving home after the procedure. I wish they had told me what it was all about. I didn't think I was going to make it home.
