Sooo, anyone have any recommendations for my tailbone?

The floor work we do in kettlebells is causing me a pretty good amount of pain in my tailbone (mostly getup/situps with the barbell).  I can deal with that, but it's also creating an enormous, black bruise from where my tailbone i****ting the floor.  Every class it's getting worse, and it's becoming difficult to sit afterwards.  Any suggestions outside of bringing a pillow to class?  I can file this under "flat butt problems" and deal with the constant bruising if there's no suggestions :)

How about the biker shorts with the tailbone pad built in? 

I don't think the padding goes up far enough to where I'm actually bruising.  Could be worth a shot, though.  Thanks!

They might have some at a specialty bike store/sporting goods store you could try on first...LOL...I'm picturing you in the dressing room flat on your back and trying them out!!

I wouldn't put it past me.  I'm known to do all sorts of weird things in the dressing room ;)

Squats. Eventually you will have some protection there.

LMAO!  Keith, you crack me up!

Your new answer to everything will be squats! I am LMAO!

I have done so many squats, and nothing helps my rear.  Maybe I'll just get used to my ridiculous tailbone at some point.

Hi,

What about using those hot pads that you stick on to your body?  They come in all shapes and sizes, you could put one on right before you work out.  Also you could ask the instructor about another way and getting the same results, I know when I used to do yoga, I had a bad back and they would have alternate positions to keep less pressure on my back.  Also water aerobics might be a great option for you, have you ever tried water aerobics?  Hope this helps!
