I can't catch a break - Medical complications.

Can you post photo of cyst ?

Can you post photo of cyst ?

I don't have one. Only photos of the wound after stitches were removed. But I was told it was very large and also tested and found to have a large infection.

 

[R18Civic]

To give you a general idea i can post a Pic of my back before stitches were taken out.

 

[Dave Hess]

Dang.

Those cysts can really grow and become a big problem.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

[R18Civic]

Thank you.

Wishing you a good and safe recovery sir.

+1 on the thorough recovery.

Man...that incision! Was the cyst wrapped around your spine? (you needn't answer if you don't want to).

 

[R18Civic]

I dunno. I just know i set my eyes on the open wound for the first time today and almost crapped my pants. You could fit a tennis ball in my back. It was a shocker.

Yeah I did. Cyst 2017-2025 RIP. But in that time period it was drained twice. Never removed.

I had a cyst removed back in the day. It was nowhere near as large as yours. I was told if they just drained it and didn't also remove the sack it was in, it would come back.

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

Batter up!

My at home nurse just called me to schedule a dr appt for my heart. Irregular heartbeat and palpitations.

I guess I should just start counting my days.

Mind over matter buddy!

Thinking positively and with hope can indeed manifest better outcomes.

It's a easy as imagining a healthier version of yourself!

Anxiety and stress can cause that.
Several of us here know...you need to kick back and try to keep stress at a minimum. Go on cruise mode.
Don't involve yourself in any stress you don't have too.

Best of luck!

Hang in there and include counting by weeks, months, and years. None of us truly know what our future will bring. Be thankful you have a doctor who cares and will do what's best for you in the short and long term.

Doctors told me 15 years ago "I don't know why you're still alive". After that, my initial goal was to see my youngest of five kids graduate high school. I'm now up to 10 grandchildren and counting.

Take care and know there are many people thinking of you.

False alarm on the heart issue. Wound is getting smaller. Nurses are getting hotter.

Win win all around.

Maybe @AutoMechanic can develop a Cyst, and improve his love life too...

Photo looks like you escaped from Freddy Krueger.

 

[R18Civic]

Lol. I've got my wound vac now. It'll heal up within 2 months.

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

Thank you kind sir.

Dang, I had a cyst that was like the size of a peanut once and I thought I was going to die, the one you had was a monster.

EDIT - I lanced mine and pulled it out. That was excruciating. At least I didn't dig it out with a pocketknife, I did use a scalpel and made sure it was all sterile first. But man it hurt.
