I'm scared to death!

I have a cyst in my right butt cheek that likes to flare up by creating a huge abssess and it hurt like a mother!
But ppl think thats its just a huge joke. But let my explain what I had to endure the last (and first) time it flared up.
It's on the side so it's really close to the crack.
Anyway, I always thought that the way I sat just bruised my tail bone, b/c it never showed any physical sign of being there. So it did just feel like my tailbone was bruised and it usualy goes away within a week.
Anyway, I noticed that there was a bump there this time (back in febuary) no bigger than a pimple and thought it strange. So I told my mom (who's a nurse) and she said it was prolly an abssess and if it got worse we'll go to the hospital. It got worse. It got to the point where I could sit down b/c it hurt so much. So I went to the hospital. And the fuck doctor! OMG! I wanted to punch him in the face! He kept poking it really hard asking me if it hurts. I'm "YES! That's why i'm here!" And then he said that it was tearing of the flesh and gave my some polyporsyn to put on it! ARE YOU BLIND!? There's a big lump there! Anyway, I went home and by monday (we went to the hospital on friday)I woke from the extreme pain. Went to take a hot bath b/c that was my only comfort fromt he pain. Haha! Didn't work! First it hurt to get out of bed, to walk to the bathroom and then to sit in the tub. At this point I took to sitting on my right hip b/c i couldn't sit on my ass. I was in such pain that I was in tears! (it takes a lot of Physical pain to make me cry) this was at 5am. I had to wait 2 hours before i could feel ok about calling my mom and waking her up. Finally, she came to get me, which took an hour b/c she had to get ready. Then The car ride! OMG! Try sitting in car when you can't sit! ha! it's not easy. I couldn't lay down either. If i laid on my back it put pressure on the abssess, if i laid on my stomache my legs would be pressed together putting pressure on it again. Then when we got to the hospital I had to wait another hour or so before the doctor came in to lance it. At least when we were in the waiting room (waiting for 20 mins.) I could stand and the pain was subsided. But when we got into a room he wanted me to lay down on my side which hurt like a bitch to do! Then he left for a good 45 mins. so I had my leg muscles clinched taking the weight off my ass for 45 mins. (my legs wouldn't stop spazing for a good 2 days)While we're waiting my mom asks if i could have something for the pain. The nurse comes back and injects me with moriphine. I don't know how ppl can be addicted to this shit! It was awful! ANd it didn't take the pain away at all! it just took my mind from it. Then the doctor comes in with freezing to freeze the abssess before he starts cutting it open. (ie./ lancing it.)
But he doesn't wait for the freezing to take effect. He injects and then immediately starts cutting me open.
Here I am a 23 yr old, laying on a strecher, getting an abssess cut open and screaming at the top of my lungs like a three yr old. The pain was excruciating! And then he has to pack it with gauze so it dosen't get infected.
the thing was prolly a good foot long and half an inche to a inche wide. He packs it in so that there's only about 3 inches hanging out.
BUT! he decides that the whole he cut in my isn't big enough, so he cut it bigger! Oh yeah! I'm laughin by this point. (yeah right. *glare* )
Finally, he's done. THANK GOD! I go home high as a kite! (b/c f the moriphine) I don't know what's going on. I fall asleep in the livingroom standing up, mind you. I catch myself just as I begin to fall forward. Go into my room just fall on the bed I can't even put the blankets over myself before i pass out. And then 20 mins later my mom come back with some tylenlo #3's for me, so the next week and a half i'm stoned out of my mind! Mind you, I have NEVER done ANY drugs of ANY kind before (and never will) so this whole experince for me is hell. I'm so confused most of the time, I don't know who my brother is most of the time, where I am and sometimes i didn't know who I was. It was hell!

Anyway, back to the present day. The whole things starting again! My ass is red (where the cyst is) it hurt to put the slightest pressure on it, and the pimple sized bump again. So I'm scared to death. I don't want to go through that again. I was recommanded that I get dat surgery to get the cyst removed, but my family doctor being the idiot he is said i don't need it and wouldn't refer me to a surgeon.
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the size this thing grew to! If you cut a golf ball in half and placed it on the side of your ass, thats how big it was!

I don't want to go through the again. Plus, if it dosen't go away soon, that mean no wonderland for me T_T
