Specifically, when it’s painful to sit down. Do you just suck it up if you’re at work? Or do you have any tips? 🍑

I pad mine with 4x4 gauze and abd pads and surgical tape. I wear boxers lol. Sometimes I put Vaseline or aloe Vera leaf on the wound, then gauze then abd. I also bought a sacral cushion and I use it when I drive or when I get a mani/pedi lol

Yes mam when working I sucked it up and dealt with it but if possible I stay off of it as much as possible let it breathe get air and use a warm compress to help draw it out. When working I had my wife help bandage it so if it busted there was something to catch it. I always knew when it was close because it gets so sensitive anything touching it hurts and I'd help it drain then apply coconut oil to help it heal and flatten.
