I once had an ailment, my doctor said it was often referred to as GI's bottom, during the war?


Question:
I can find no referance to GI's bottom on the web!

It consisted of a great big cist in my bottom region! he said GI's got it during the war bouncing around on hard jeep seats! I used to cycle 20 miles a day, and this was probably a contributing factor.

However I can find no referance to any GI ever having this! Is my doctor an idiot?

ps.
this was some years ago and some antibiotics cleared it up nicely!

Answers:
Pilonidal sinus.

Other Answers:
Perhaps he cleaned it up for you and "bottom" wasn't the word used. Perhaps it was just a common term and not a medical term you can find on the net.

I think what your doctor is referring to is that your bottom resembles that of GI Joe.

Let's hope your package doesn't look like Ken's (of Ken & Barbie)


NO he's not an idiot, do a google search under "trench foot" it will give you a list of military personell ailments including the bump on your heiney. I think what he was referring to is a pilonidal cyst. It forms at the tip of the tailbone and can be quite painful
