I had a pilonidal cyst once, the most painful thing I ever experienced, also the one who smelled the worst when it popped, according to a doctor it smells exactly like a corpse
I had one 4 times in 9 months and the second time I had it it ended up bursting in my car and going all over the seat and up the back of the seat, was never able to fully get the smell out
Been there, done that. Hope you've recovered.
It was 2 years ago now and fortunately didn't need surgery, it was 12 days of pain I can tell you that, couldn't even get up from bed most of the times, even small things like changing position in bed or going to take a piss hurted soooo bad and you need to plan every little move.
Oh geez, mine came back and back and back and while it has been about a decade since then, the last operation (which I guess was the one that worked) ended up with my ass looking like someone just carved a hunk out of the living flesh with an ice-cream scoop.
