Ohhhhhhhh my achin' tailbone!

mine was hurting so bad that i had a doctor
take xrays at one point.

basically, there is nothing to do. i have
talked to doctors, physical therapists and
even a chiropractor. i did get a little better
as i got further out from surgery.

then again, this winter sitting on my butt for
three months after accident set me right off
again.

it seems that there is nothing much to do for this
pain in the ass pain.

good luck, hopefully it will ease up a bit

Shoot, is this what I've got to look forward to????  I've never had a butt.  When I was thinner and would sit on hubby's lap he'd say that my bones hurt him.  Can't wait until my tailbone is sticking out too.  I'm sure I'll probably have the pain because I have pain in my lower back now.  I'll have to start doing exercises for the lower back to strengthen the muscles.  Don't know how you could alleviate the pain when you go out unless you use the suggested assessory.

I doubt there is anything that can be done short of PS to add some padding in that area. And I am poor and lost my health insurance. Maybe I should make a pillow butt insert??????? ROFL

I have the same problem!!!! My boney butt hurts most of the time with the tail bone......
I discovered it when I lost about the first 50 pounds.
Now I have to have a pillow in the car when I drive. I have a small round one or a towel it helps.

my daughter, who has never had a weight problem in her life, had this problem too. She went to her doc and a chiropractor,, and they told her there is a surgery that they can do to remove part of the tailbone. Im not sure what they call it, Ill find out from her. But you might check into that..ask the doc about it. its not considered plastics either, so insurance would probably pay.
Sittin in the bathtub is the worst for me!

Ok Susan, it just hit me ... you get one of those adult diapers and add some extra padding in the tailbone area.  Just remember to sneak in the bathroom and take it off before you get cuddly with your boyfriend. Might ruin the moment if you forget.  HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!    Just teasing you. 

Oh Susan, you must not have thought my diaper joke was very funny.  I'm sorry if I offended you. Didn't mean to.  I know what that nasty old tailbone feels like. 

She may not have seen it.  Some people have settings that keep the post in order written and they fall off.

I thought it was cute!
