Reoccurrence 2 years after cleft lift?
I had a cleft lift procedure about 2 years ago and have been doing really well since then. Healed basically textbook. Recently, I’ve started noticing pain/discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces or in my car seat, which has me worried that my pilonidal cyst might be coming back.
It’s not a sharp pain it is a dull ache that comes and goes with pressure.
The weird thing is that I don’t have any pain when I’m walking, standing, or laying down. I’ve also looked at the area and had my partner look and we don’t see a sinus opening, swelling, redness, drainage, blood, or anything else obvious.
Has anyone had a recurrence after a cleft lift that started out just as pain with sitting? Or could this be something else, like irritation from pressure or scar tissue?
I’m planning to get it checked out if it continues, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has experienced something similar after a cleft lift. I’ve been having pretty intense PTSD because I will be so sad if this is back after experiencing surgery and would love to hear insight from anyone who has experienced similar issues.
