Heh, yeah I had that
Was rushed to hospital there and then; work managed to get someone in to cover for me but they were useless so I went back in to get the work done, kneeling on a sofa cushion in front of my desk because I couldn't sit down. The director of the company* came over and told me not to kneel on the sofa cushion because I might leave a mark.

*naming no names, but his son is a very famous racing driver

Thanks for the memories!
Had the same thing... 3 times!

First time it was quite deep, and seeped some horrible smelling fluid for a couple of years, before it became quite painful and had to deal with it. (Was back working within a couple of weeks)

Second time, the damn thing returned and spent ages off work - the nurses really looked after me though, and thought that it had been dealt with....

That is until one unsuspecting night, I work up with a terrible pain. The damn thing had swelled up overnight and I could hardly move with the pain. Fortunately took the day off work as I recognised the symptoms, and as my behind throbbed and throbbed, it burst by it's own accord. The smell was something that turns my stomach just thinking about it. (Imagine the festering rotting contents of a zit the size of two pence piece).

I'm pretty certain that it's come back, but since it doesn't hurt, I'm going to leave it well alone - can't really afford another two months off work.
