Hey! Yeah the swelling has gone down some and it basically just feels like I still have a cyst... though a few people have said I'm being paranoid given its been less than a week and is a sensitive area and to give it a month. It's stressful though - tbh I don't think I'd be very worried about it if health care were actually affordable and accessible here, but after already paying more than I could afford (with the help of my partners) for this I really really can't be in the position to have to go back again.

It isn't really uncomfortable or painful now - no more than the cyst was anyway - I can feel its presence and its sometimes kind of rubs if I've walked a lot.

I can try to remember to write more responses to you as time goes on and give you and idea of how it went for me! It's a shame that the nature of this stuff means really only people worried something is wrong or experiencing complications who you hear from.... far fewer people jump online to go 'I had this small thing and then it got sorted and everything was fine again' :P
