i have a problem with cysts too - it only bothers me when i spend lots of time on the bike. and it just started last year. no idea why, considering i've been riding for a long time. anyway, it's very painful. one time i was able to drain it, and the discharge was brownish yellow and thick. then it bled. sorry to be so graphic. anyway i have seen the doctor three times. the first time, the doctor told me that he would drain it for me if it got really big, and he gave me tetracyclene. the second time i went, the doctor prescribed me more tetracyclene. the third time i went, i asked for it to be drained or removed, and the new doctor told me that it was too small to be removed, and also pointless, because another cyst might just pop up next to it. he gave me more tetracyclene. i am completely frustrated. certainly there must be a way out of this.
