medical conditions often do not wait until surgeons get around to dealing with it so the fact that it is painful now it would be best to have it treated now. start by calling the surgeon's office to see if you can be seen earlier (like today). without knowing the medical details of your case (type of cyst size location etc. ) it would not be possible for me to know if lancing it now would be detrimental to your upcoming procedure. i can tell you that cysts are often easier to remove when they are intact.
should i have an infected cyst lanced now if i have an appt with a surgeon in 2 weeks? . i've had this cyst twice before. it's really painful and i'm not sure i can wait the 2 weeks! will it mess up my surgery to have it lanced now?
