Sounds like a Pilonidal Cyst... EXTREMELY painful, and take forever to heal after surgery, which is general done on an outpatient setting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilonidal_cyst
Causes
One proposed cause of pilonidal cysts is ingrown hair.[9] Excessive sitting is thought to predispose people to the condition because they increase pressure on the coccyx region. Trauma is not believed to cause a pilonidal cyst; however, such an event may result in inflammation of an existing cyst. However there are cases where this can occur months after a localized injury to the area. Some researchers have proposed that pilonidal cysts may be the result of a congenital pilonidal dimple.[10] Excessive sweating can also contribute to the cause of a pilonidal cyst. Moisture can fill a stretched hair follicle, which helps create a low-oxygen environment that promotes the growth of anaerobic bacteria, often found in pilonidal cysts. The presence of bacteria and low oxygen levels hamper wound healing and exacerbate a forming pilonidal cyst.[11]
The condition was widespread in the United States Army during World War II. More than eighty thousand soldiers having the condition required hospitalization; [12] the average length of these wartime hospital stays was 55 days.[13] The condition was termed "jeep seat" or "Jeep riders' disease", because a large portion of people who were being hospitalized for it rode in Jeeps, and prolonged rides in the bumpy vehicles were believed to have caused the condition due to irritation and pressure on the coccyx.

CBS Sports is some , trust me I do fantasy basketball there and they are always way off. I would not be shocked if he was, but I doubt it.
Hopefully Diaw will return. Yeah I do also Fantasy Basketball and I always looked at CBSSports for injury update.
Seriously - has McDonald or anybody made a statement about when Diaw is returning?
They were talking about him coming back after the First Round -- or Game 5-6 even.
Scores and Odds were alot better to me when looking up updates than CBS was, but thats just for that day etc. CBS sucks IMO. Why did you look to them for injury update? They are always late, way late.
I dunno. lol It seems that for me it's the easiest way to look for an injury update of a player.
Diaw will be back for the Second Round or, god forbid, game 6.
said who?
from last night:
Paul Garcia PS @24writer 14m
Boris Diaw was in warm-ups. I asked Coach Pop if there's any chance he'll play in the series vs. the #Lakers, he said it's "doubtful."
doubtful comment is nice, it means if he is not ready for the Lakers he will probably good to go later in the POs
Boris will have to fight for minutes with the newly energized Red Mamba. Energized is a word that applies to fatass Boris.
No need to play him in this series really. Better to rest up and be ready to go for the later rounds.
Hope the Spurs don't rush him out the gates. If Bonner can hold the fort down for another round of the playoffs then all the better. Back surgery is always a really big deal especially for an athlete.
Diaw injury was a synovial cyst he had in the lower back. He got that cyst because he has a arched back. He didn't even knew he had that cyst until he grew up to the size of an olive and compressed his sciatic nerve. As soon as it hit the sciatic nerve, Diaw wasn't able to put his leg on the floor without pain. Spurs tried to drain it but it grows back so they had to remove it with a surgery.
The reason why Diaw isn't playing isn't the injury itself, it is because he has to recover from the surgery procedure. To reach the cyst they had to open him and do a "hole". Diaw is recovering from that and is strengthening his back. 10 days ago, he said on Parker radio show that he was 2-3 weeks away from coming back.
be back for the 2nd round.
Thanks for the updates!
i wish i had a BS filter for this site so i could just get to nice solid, accurate and informative posts such as this. thanks for the update.
It's called the ignore function. If it were possible to never see ignored posts even when they're quoted, it would be perfect.
Pop is such a mean man. I think he meant the series won't last long enough for him to see time vs. Lakers.
His surgery was two weeks ago today.
Cool, the Spurs hopefully have at least one more month of basketball, so he hopefully can be back sometime during then.
although it was surgery, it was a mini-surgery. Probably used lasers most of the time, which means his scar tissue and other such is probably less than 1/2 inch. probably being cautionary, if he was wearing a purple and gold he'd already by playin
Good stuff.
From what I've observed, Diaw has always seemed to be a fast healer and doesn't take very long to get back in rhythm (for example, last year when he signed with the Spurs he was good from his very first game). Hopefully he can heal and quickly regain his mobility because the Spurs will need him if they're going anywhere in the playoffs.
