Any one have any experience with these? I just found out that I have one near my sacrum that has been causing a lot of pain since my motorcycle accident.

Not personally, but an old teammate of mine had one. They tried using drainage first, but his pain got worse. He eventually went in for surgery and last time I spoke to him about it he hasn't had any noticeable problems. He hasn't skated since, but I think that has more to do with his family.

I hope you're able to find relief as soon as possible.

Thanks. I actually talked with a guy at work this week about it and his wife works for a neurosurgeon. He called her right then and she knew exactly what he was talking about. She took my name and was going to get my MRI and have the guy look at it for me to see if surgery might be an option or not. Kind of got lucky. I should see him next week. We'll see!

Glad to hear that you've caught it early on. Constant pain is not only annoying superficially, but overtime increases stress levels. :( Good luck and best wishes with treatment.
