A reader asks: What exactly is pubic symphisitis? Why would anyone care? Well, it’s because that’s the reason Milwaukee Bucks point guard Maurice Williams was sideline this weekend, according to NBA.com. If you have just eaten lunch, do not click on this link that describes – in rather gory detail, and with photos that may not be safe for work – the painful conditions that Mr. Williams was going through last weekend. (It appears as if NBA.com may have spelled the injury wrong, or said injury can be spelled two ways.)

The only part of the wikipedia explanation that makes any sense is this: “… results from instability or from abnormal pelvic mechanics.” That could mean a number of things, but most importantly, we wish Mo Williams the best, and we hope he’s resting comfortably under the watchful eye of the best nurse his $7.75 million salary could buy.
