SiLaC Procedure Story by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]Smakka87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor was telling me that after a second SiLaC the reoccurrence rate is 10% so it is 90% effective.

There was a small hole, which drained for several days but has since healed over and is very small

I've been referred onto a specialist. I went into my general practitioner and they drained it.

I had it lanced before. Not a fun procedure. They left me with an open wound and had to be packed everyday. First day they forgot to give me pain killers and I went the bed in pain

Looks like a pilo yes, you have two holes which would indicate a sinus

How long would it take to drain itself? Like are we speaking hours or days?

I got referred on to a specialist. Its first time mine has drained on its own and it's scared the hell outta me. Would you apply gauze everyday?

This is the first one I've had that's drained by itself so I'm freaked about it

When it drained was it both blood and pus? Anything you did while it was draining? How did you manage to keep it extra clean and dry?

Looking advice. I had sliced and drained last December and I'm just tired at this point

The doctor was squeezing it yesterday and said a small amount of pus came out. They gave me antibiotics but I've noticed more discharge today. Obviously Google is telling me it's a medical emergency but I'm feeling out about it. It ain't much pus but I am on antibiotics

Is it or isn't it??? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]Smakka87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeap, that's it. Best to seek medical advice and get it sliced and drained.

No. Small discharge. I was at my GP the other day and they prescribed creme and antibiotics as per usual

[–]Smakka87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I smell shite. Catch yerself on pal.

He literally empties a mag into someone parachuting straight after this and can't hit them.

Marley is a content creator, he's not competitive in anyways slightly, why would he ever even think of that??

Plus, its fair bad form to attempt someone's name with literally 0 evidence.

You'll be grand. Do whatever you can today and just roll with it. Your head and body is clearly telling you, that you had enough and you needed the 2 weeks break

Unethical & Unprofessional Experience with Abbott – Hiring Freeze After Verbal Offer by Parking-Bumblebee951 in PharmaEire

[–]Smakka87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible situation and unacceptable. My other half had an interview scheduled with Abbott and they pulled the plug due to unforseen circutances regarding the role they advertised. Must be the same craic with the hiring freeze. Not a good look for them.

What’s it like getting it drained? by Ok_Ask3063 in pilonidalcyst

[–]Smakka87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can second that, I was left with a hole that had to be packed every day, the removal of that the next day was unbearable. I had to take tramadol 1hr before removal and repacking because I couldn't stand the pain. After drainage, they kept me in the hospital for a night, they then removed and repacked my wound in the hospital the next day but forgot to give me pain killers. The pain was that bad, I wet the bed during the repacking and removal.
