I really really really am not intrested in being out of working out for
4 weeks while it heals if it comes to a surgical intervention...
Anyone? Please!

    I have had them in the past and they need to be drained, cleaned and bandaged. Sugery has nevery been mentioned to me - so perhaps yours, or others you speak of, are worse than I have had. Good luck!

    Yes, the pain is horrid. Mine have resolved on their own with a course of antibiotics, lots of warm baths, and liberal use of heating pads. My worst one only took 4-5 days to do its thing and drain on its own.
