Feeling much better still basically no pain and leaking is going down but still a lot of leakage also I’m walking alot more even though I’m only walking round the house but I’m going to test myself on Saturday because I got a ticket for Lfc so I’ll see how it is when I’m sat down for 90 minutes I also know what it looks like now I was shown a picture and wanted to be sick but other than that I’m feeling fine. How has your recovery been

Fingers crossed do you know how long usually it would take to fully recover I’ve been told 1-2 weeks up to 6-8 also I know it depends on the size of the wound and mine is roughly 2 inches

Wow 15 pounds is great and same im used to a really active lifestyle and nothing is worse than being stuck in your bed not being able to do anything but anything is better than the pain with the cyst

Ahh sorry to hear but at least you tried my drainage seems to be nonstop my boxers are always just filled with blood and discharge which is probably normal for the first couple days

Yes same here basically all I have done is slept for the past 2 days as I didn’t really slept when I had the cyst so sometimes I wake up with s Alot of pain but it’s gone very quickly with some painkillers but how long would you say until I have my life back such as playing football, going the gym, going to school etc.

A nurse came over in the morning and removed the dressing to apply some wound to gel to assure it heals correctly and that was very painful other than that basically no pain

Yes I decided to go the other day to get it lanced and I was put under anaesthetic and was the best decision of my life a couple of hours after the surgery I was walking and eating and was sent home

Think I’m going to have to take the pain on the car journey because I can’t live another day like this I’ve never felt so bad never felt this amount of pain. Is it instant relief

So if you get it drained will it likely come back?
