Eight years ago I went through a ceaserian section and after I began feeling pain on one side of the scar, later it developed and abcess. When I went to hospital the doctors told me there was nothing wrong. The opening kept on releasing pus for over a month.  I felt better until one year ago when I began feeling severe pain. I have been to hospitals but the doctors tell me there is nothing much they can do other taking pain killers each time I feel pain. I really wonder up to when I will take pain killers.

Go to your doctor and ask about getting your scar injected with something called Marcaine.  This sometimes works to alleviate pain of Caesarian scars or scar pain in general.   Hope this is helpful to you.

Its been awhile, but my son had one, I don't know what the company would do or say, but I think you would of felt if it was broken too far in (like burning) and it depends on how long ago did you go in? Ask a nurse. Because it does happen, and your gonna stay worried until you talk to someone.

I've just had my 5th procedure,  I noticed it working after about a month.  There is always some swelling and a little bruising the first 2-3 days afterward, but I take Tylenol for the pain and use Anica for the bruising. \n But everybody is different, the only reason I noticed it was working is because I've had an appendix scar on my stomach since I was six.  It was always somewhat indented in my skin, now it's almost completely smooth.  Other people are starting to notice now too,  so it definitely takes time.

I recently received the shot as well after being punctured through the hand by someone. I had the same pain, like I had been punched very hard. It took about 3 days for the pain to stop. It's normal!

I think you mean "pilonidal cyst"...\n\nI have first-hand experience of this: I HAVE ONE TOO!\n\nThis is my experience, yours may differ...\n\nI noticed it about four years ago. It felt like the area slightly to the left of my tailbone was larger than it used to be. I found that if I pressed the area hard with a piece of tissue it would bleed a little and there was some pus present. It hasn't been a huge pain in the a** (sorry!) because under normal circumstances it's not the area I normally sit on. It sometimes flares up and becomes very apparent when I've been in the car a long time, and it's especially noticeable when I recline in a hard bottomed chair in that state. Every few months it will get inflamed much like a blister or a boil. That's when it gets very painful to sit on. This will last for about two days and then it will pop. I might notice some blood on the back of the toilet seat and sometimes I can feel a wet sensation as it soaks into my underwear. Once it pops it will be sore for another day and return to it's hardly noticeable state.\n\nLike I said it's not a huge problem and I considered surgery for a while until I read some first-hand accounts. Apparently the surgery is no problem but the recovery takes weeks and means constant dressing changes to what is essentially a very painful, deep wound. Sitting is especially difficult and if you have to sit a lot then you'll definitely be out of action for a few weeks.\n\nSometimes I rub tea tree oil onto it after a shower. This seems to bring the swelling down for a few days.\n\nOh yeah, forget that crap about cancer. That's just an example of someone b***s***ing for points. Cancer doesn't even come into it.\n\nHere's some more info:\n\nA Pilonidal (Abscess, Cyst, Sinus, Dimple) is an abscess in the natal cleft (more commonly referred to as your butt crack) that tends to become infected and cause intense pain and drainage. Sometimes a Pilonidal contains hair and sometimes they don't. \n\nThe term "Pilonidal" technically means "nest of hairs". This is not always true and there are people who have Pilonidal abscesses that have no hair in them. Many doctors will tell you that all Pilonidals are caused by hair, this has not been proven to be the case.  A Pilonidal cyst is basically an abscess of pus and hair beneath the outer skin - a boil gone very, very bad. Pilonidal abscess are prone to excruciatingly painful infections and they can expand (tunnel) .\n\nThe term "Pilonidal Cyst" is actually incorrect.  99% of all Pilonidals are actually abscesses, not cysts.  Use of the word "cyst" has caused a great deal of misinformation about treatments among doctors and patients alike. Pathologists and surgeons on rare occasions find the sac is lined with epidermis, made up of cells from skin, but only cells from the outer layer of skin. That outer layer, which we call epidermis, contains no follicles. Pathologists find epidermis lines the sac only in rare late cases where epidermis has crept into a long-standing abscess in an attempt to heal it. They never find a sac lined with intact skin and follicles, only an occasional sac lined with epidermis.\n\nWhile the terms Pilonidal Cyst and Pilonidal Sinus are frequently used interchangeably, they are not technically the same thing. A Pilonidal is an abscess; a pocket of pus and infection below the skin. A sinus is a cavity/passageway that links the abscess with your outer skin. Not everyone who has a Pilonidal abscess has a Pilonidal Sinus; the sinus (and there can be more than one) is a small dimple-like hole, usually below the actual abscess, which allows it to drain. \n\nPilonidal abscesses usually occur at the top of the "natal cleft" (aka your crack). Their usual position is slightly to the left side, with sinus openings traditionally right along the midline (middle) of the cleft. Many people have cysts lower in the cleft

I had mine out 5 years ago when I was 16.  It didn't hurt because they gave me liquid codeine and I was taking that every 4 hours or maybe it was 6...anyway that worked really well.  I even had to go to the emergency room that night because my throat was bleeding into my stomach and I was puking up a lot of blood so they had to go in with some silver nitrate to close up the spots that were bleeding.  With the pain medicine I had the puking didn't even hurt so I'm sure you'll be fine. :)\n\nOh and I didn't eat ice cream at all...Jello and popsicles are where it's at...when I tried to eat ice cream it burned my throat and for whatever reason made me a bit sick to my stomach...could have been the pain medicine though

I have no idea of what caused this. But you are not the only one out there who has that same pain. I started going through that same pain about when I turned 10 I am now 12. I fell like screaming bloody murder. I am a really tough girl. If I am in pain it would be super pain for others. I wake up at 12 o'clock around 2 or 3 times a week. I fall back asleep and then wake up again at 3 o'clock and then o'clock. I hardly get any sleep now and my grades have been falling. I am normally a straight A student but I have made 3 C's in the past month. But my grades have been so high before those grades did not affect the overall grade. Th pains have been getting worse. I know what you are going through. To prove how tough I am I have had 10 toe surgeries. 8 on my right big toe and 2 on my left big toe. On the left big toe I had one surgery with pain medication and the other one without. ON the right big toe I have had 1 asleep 1 with pain medication and 6 without pain medication. If I have any more toe surgeries I could lose my toe. That is scary!!

The last time I got a severe chest pain was when I couldn't sustain it anymore. And it was immediately after getting flu and taking a course in antibiotics. Antibiotics really play havoc in my system. On top of that, I has just relocated to another city, another country and was still discovering palatable food. Ended up eating Spicy Thai green curry and later in the late evening had some lousy coffee with sweet snacks loaded with oil. \nAll this must have caused the super pain which I tried to withstand for 2 hours but I finally told myself only one thing: the antacids are not working, the garlic pearls aren't working, the \nonly thing for you to do, (which I've never done before) is get dressed, jump into a cab and leave for the emergency section of a private hospital.\nI was administered a whole bottle of 'something' liquid through my veins. In 5 minutes the pain was gone. \nI brought home pills and a chalky suspension solution and an attitude of 'money well spent'. You can imagine the amount I paid.

That's exactly what my gall bladder attack felt like.  I went to the ER and was told I had a kidney stone.  They sent me home and 4 days later when I was still hurting, I asked my husband to rub my back.  When he started mashing on the right side of my back, the pain immediately moved to the front and I was doubled over in pain. I went back to the ER and found out they were going to have to remove my gall bladder laproscopically.  However, because I went so long without treatment, it turns out they had to do open gall bladder surgery.  You didn't say, is the pain more on your right side?  If so, its a big possibility that it is your gall bladder.  I know from experience that the doctors can misdiagnose the problem at first.  If you are still hurting, go back and have them check it. You want to catch it before it becomes too infected and inflamed. Open gall bladder surgery is very painful and you'll want to aviod it if possible.\n\nHope that was of some help to you.   Good Luck and take care!

I've had many of them to burst. I actually have two of them right now.  It will burn, it is pretty uncomfortable but it is not  unbearable.  The best thing to do is take 600 to 800 ibuprofen.  That's only 3 or 4 pills, same as prescription.  Then get in a warm shower and just relax.  The heat helps a lot.  By the time you get out the med's have had a chance to kick in.  Then just rest a couple of hours.  It feels about like cramping at the beginning of your period.  Keep your legs elevated and just rest is the best thing.  I've had to deal with these things for 12 years.  It's like having bad period cramps for a day but concentrated more to one spot.

I had gall bladder surgery 3 years ago. They did it laporscopically which means they went through my belly button and mad 3 small incisions in my stomach. Since it is in the stomach region, they do consider it major surgery, however, after having it I really don't think it is that bad. I stayed in the hospital overnight and then went home the next day. I did have a little pain at the hospital in my back and shoulders because when they pump your abdomen when air so they can work easily around the organs, it leaves tiny air bubbles inside you when they take the air out, so that was uncomfortable but I didn't feel it anymore after 2 or 3 days. My abdomen was really sore and when I walked around it would have a few sharp pains if it jiggled or something but I had some pretty good medicenes that helped me out. The recovery was pretty easy acctually. After a week I was doing really well. I still had pain but not as bad at all. I could start doing things at 2 weeks like going places. And I had to stay on a really low fat diet for about 6 weeks because the gall bladder helps digest fat and since I didn't have that anymore, fat runs through me faster and could make me sick. So after 6 weeks, my body was used to this change and could go back to eating reguarly. Not to say that fatty foods are okay to eat even after the 6 week mark because sometimes I get really bad diarea still (after 3 yrs) because my body doesnt have the gall bladder. All in all I am pretty normal still. I don't even notice a change really. I eat a normal diet so everything is fine. Good luck and don't be scared. It goes smoothly and quickly and you'll be fine.

Take your butt immediately to the ER... right now.  Stop waiting for answers.  Your life is important and health should be your main concern at this very moment.  I am not questioning your pain, but I have been through this and I know that it is serious... so go!  NOW!

you must see a Dr. as soon as possible. Painkillers (analgesics) are not a solution.\nanalgesics such as: prophine,tylonol,Morphine,Diamorphine,Fentanyl,Buprenorphine (Temgesic or Transtec patches),Oxycodone and Codeine need a prescription from a Dr. because those analgesics belong in the category of opioids and those analgesics are mainly used for cancer patiens. \nIn your case i would recommend Aspirin,Ibuprofen,Diclofenac (Voltarol),Celecoxib (Celebrex).\nOr if you need something stronger i would prescribe Postan.\n\nYou may have noticed that your pain seems worse if you are anxious or worried.  It often seems worse at night if you cannot sleep and there is nothing else to distract you.as an alternative Way of treating pain i can suggest:\n1.Change your position at least every two hours to prevent stiffness and sore skin \n2.Hot or cold packs can help relieve pain (wrap them in a soft towel to prevent them damaging your skin)\n3.Watching TV, reading or chatting can help to take your mind off your aches and pains \n4.Breathing – try to breathe slowly and deeply when you are tense\n5.Talking to someone about your pain, perhaps a counselor, can help relieve stress and tension and make it easier to cope.\nand finaly i have to remind you that the best thing you can do is visit a Dr. Only then you will know what exactly is your problem and get a permanent treatment.

Yes that is normal. You said your self you got the cartalidge peirced, that is the most sensitive tissue because its thicker. It takes a while to heal. So it while be painful, maybe even up to a year after. Just keep it clean so it doesnt get infected, that would hurt worse.
