Great thing to do, I had all 4 of mine cut out at once. They grew in the same as yours, instead of up and down like normal, they grew sideways and no one knows why. They will eventually become very painful and all, so get it treated as soon as you can. It really doesn't hurt either, they'll put you to sleep and all.Then they give you a prescription for pain meds, you'll need them. As long as you take those when needed, you'll be fine, but you'll be knocked out for a while too. Pray before you go in, and whomever goes along to drive you home, as you won't be able to do so, have them pray while you're in the surgery. You'll be fine, you'll be in God's hands. God bless!
