“I am 60 years old and still have difficulty sitting from pilonidal cyst surgery and lancings and packings from forty years ago. I had a horrific time
of it because I had a rare spinal defect that needed major surgeries on my upper spine. The pilonidal disease
happened three weeks after a major spinal surgery on my neck. The pain of the pilonidal cyst rendered me unable to walk and I had to be dragged across the floor.
I passed out many times from the cyst. My spinal surgery was not successful on top of it and I needed more spinal surgeries and suffered agonizing pain for decades. Now I am doing much better thanks to neurontin and wearing capcaician patches. The pilonidal cyst with the rare cervical spinal stenosis defects was beyond horror. I Still decades after successful pilonidal surgery, I have a lot of problems sitting. I also had a hip surgery. I worked for thirty years in a basically non sitting job. Is there anyone else who still has tenderness in their scar that makes sitting difficult and challenging. I sit for a while but end up crossing my legs of sitting with my feet on the chair and my knees under my chin. I need to have my feet when I sit in public
on something a few inches off the ground. Also, when I play music I start to get uncomfortable after ten minutes. This is still forty years after the pilonidal surgeries. I felt severe pain
in the scar following a hysterectomy decades later. Now I walk miles at a time and it helps.
Walking and doing five pound leg weight exercises laying down helps. I just want to know does anyone else still have trouble sitting after decades? Just to add one thing, the cyst was so bad
I have a very big scar and also the cyst abcessed was infected with major staph infection. I remember there were six months of packing and then major surgery.”
