Surgery is very common though, and it should be gone for life now! Oh I remember the pain though. I could not sit or laydown on my back! I cried all the time until I finally went to the docs! Your poor grandson... Im sooo glad that hes getting it taken care of! Tell him in the meantime a warm bath for awhile softens it and makes the pain a little more tolerable. Good Luck to him  |
My friend had one too but he had to have it surgerically removed. He said it was really uncomfortable when it was there but once it had been removed it was much better.
I wish your grandson luck with his op.
