Dealing with recurring cysts and fear of medical bills

I had my cyst lanced in 2019 ish and surgery in 2020 then another that same year, no professional surgeons where available cuz covid and my cysts travel down my sinus track close to my spine, my surgeon said if I get infected again I'll need to spend 6months hooked up to machines till I'm fully healed it's been a few years from my surgery and my cysts are coming back either new or there moving from my tailbone area up towards the surface, they don't cause pain or discomfort and keep the area clean but I've had alot of pain sitting even since my surgery and I can't tell if it's chronic or from left over cysts and I'm to scared to see a doctor cuz if I am hospital for 6 months he said that equipment is $100 a day to rent and idk if Medicaid will even cover that 😭

I just recently got my first cyst and was able to take antibiotics to prevent a second one from coming back when I noticed it. Using one of those doughnut pillows really helped me with the pain side of things on top of pain meds, I got mine for $25 ish at Walmart. I wish I had something to say that would be more comforting but all I can say is that I hope everything goes okay for you 💕
