I once took an opiod based painkiller to manage a massive abcess on my coxys. (Spelling?


I spent the next 12h hugging the toilet bowl. No food, no beverage, all stomach trying to empty itself even after it was completely empty.

Luckilly my mom came to check on me, because I was too sick to even remember I had a phone, much less answer it.
She took me to the ER, and while waiting to be seen, she told me "the way you're crouching, gagging, and screaming in pain is like seeing myself when I was about to give birth to you"


The doc cut open the abcess and drained it as best he could, then sent a referral to the hospital so I could get rid of the issue once and for all. (At that point I'd gotten massive abcesses in that exact spot 3-4 times a year the last 6 years)


Good news: I got the surgery, and never got another abcess there again.
Bad news: I now get abcesses on the left side of my groin just as often, and there's nothing to do about it bc I have too much scar tissue for surgery now.
