    It happened to me snowboarding years ago. It hurt so bad that I couldn't even push the clutch in to drive. Sucked standing up...sucked sitting down.[​IMG]

    Interesting reading

    How You Got One​
    There is a basic set of factors that underlie a person's susceptibility to the disease, this is certainly not an inclusive list, these are only KNOWN risk factors:
    • Family history of Pilonidal Disease
    • Fetal development problems (Spina Bifida Occulta)
    • Shape, size and scaliness of the person's hair
    • Amount of hair in the natal cleft & buttocks
    • Size of the pores in the skin over the tailbone
    • High degree of friction and pressure on the tailbone (such as sitting improperly)
    • Traumatic injury to the tailbone (such as a fall)
    • Participation in high tailbone-impact activities (such as horseback riding)
    • Depth of the natal cleft (impacted by weight and genetics)
    • Shape of the natal cleft (overhanging areas, dips)
    • Tendency towards blocked hair follicles (acne, boils, sebaceous cysts)
    • Tendency towards other skin problems (eczema, etc...)
