tailbone pain after surgery

This is a bit embarrassing but I want to ask here before I go to the doctor.  After having lost 115 pounds I find that I have pain in (or on) my tailbone when I sit or lay down.  Is this because all that extra padding is gone or is it something I should be concerned with?  It isn't a boil or anything like that, the actual bone hurts.  Thanks for ANY feedback.

Yep, alot of people have that problem.  I broke my tailbone a year before my surgery, so I totally know where you're at.  I've lost 90lbs and I'm to the point of using a pillow.  All that fat had at least one positive.  who knew!

  Thank you.  Whew.

OMG I was going to post this exact thing!!!!  Ever since losing weight, my tailbone is so sore after sitting or lying down for awhile.  I was assuming it was because I didn't have all that padding anymore; but then what, does every skinny person's @ss  hurt ???? lol.  Maybe our bodies just need to adjust.  I just think it is so funny that someone posted this. Hope your @ss feels better soon!

I was going to ask some skinny people but thought I'd really get a funny look.  Thanks for the laugh and I hope all our a--es feel better soon.  I guess I'd rather a sore butt than the extra baggage anyday.

Hi yes ....we all go through this tailbone pain read more HERE ...lol hugss Lizzy

Now that is too funny.  Thanks for all the laughs and the hugs. Right back at ya.

Oh yes, I have this problem too... especially on airplanes, I just cry...  ugh. I actually went to my doctor and she said there is nothing that can be done.... boooo.  She did tell me that those donut pillows help.  I have ended up having to adjust the way I sit on certain chairs.... leaning or crossing legs helps.  I do wish there was something else out there that helps.   WIshing you luck! ~Shannon

****yxitis ...maybe ......

I am only 6 weeks out and I have some pain back there too. I thought I was just sleeping funny or something.  At least I know I am not crazy.
