How To Manage The Pain From A Pilonidal Cyst Caused By Restricted Mobility Due To Heart Conditions?
I had a bad Pilonidal cyst many years ago. It was treated,burst and went away. I've taken precautions ever since. Now it seems to have returned. I have been sitting more due to a bad heart. I've had quadruple bypass surgery and I've had a defibulator and pacemaker inserted in my chest. Recently the pain of the cyst has returned. I use the cushion recommended to sit on and that helps. What do you think I should do to help ease it?

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
The recurance of the pilonidal cyst is common occurance, and it is unbearable as well.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. The excision of the cyst may be recomended.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to prevent the recurance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
