How painful is removing a cyst on a back?

Usually not Bad: Depending on the size of the cyst it is usually not very painful. The procedure can be done in the office under local if it is small.

Pain: Everyone deals with pain differently. Some take nothing or Tylenol after a cyst excision Others require prescription pain meds. Obviously larger cysts are associated with more pain.
