Had a pilonidal cyst one year out of high school. Never knew I had it till one day I couldn’t stand up straight. Went in for emergency surgery. Cyst had reached near my tailbone. Took 2 years for the surgical wound to heal properly.

Where was this technology 30 years ago. I've got a dirty great scar that took months to heal.
