Has anyone who has lost alot of weight had pain when they sit from their tailbone?

I am 5 months post op and have lost 82 pounds, about 25 more to go. For the last month I have been worried because my tailbone seems to be sticking out very dramatically and it really hurts when I sit! This has affected my driving as it is very uncomfortable. This last week, I also have pain from the other bones in my rear, I am really afraid that maybe I have something out of alignment, maybe from being so overweight all these years. It is really getting difficult to sit for long periods of time and my back has also been hurting real bad! I wanted to know if anyone else has had this type of pain and if maybe it will get better as my body gets used to not having as much padding. I will mention this to my doctor, but first wanted to see if any of you have any experience with this. I can't imagine all thin people have bones that hurt like this all the time, but maybe it is just a hazard of being close to a normal weight? Thanks for any input!
