Tailbone pain since weightloss?
I am having the same problem. I went to a waterpark the other day and couldn't enjoy the slides with my daughter because the pain was too intense. I even have bruising back there. And when I'm laying down I can feel it and it just bothers me. I saw an episode of big medicine once where a woman had to have plastic surgery to fix the prob. He had to go in and actually I guess "get rid" of some of the extra bone there. I'm going to try exercise to strengthen that area but I don't know if it's too late or not.
I had a lot of back pain after surgery and when my Dr OK'ed me to see my chiropractor, I did and got re-aligned. he told me a lot of WLS patients have more pain while losing weight because of that loss of cushion and to stretch and sit and sleep correctly will help. I got a Wii fit and do a lot of the stretching exercises for my back, and I sleep with a pillow between my legs or under my knees if i am on my back. That seems to help me a lot. I still have some pain, but not as bad as it was. Walking helps a ton too!
Where do I get a ****yx pillow? I need one. I've been bringing a pillow with me when I go anywhere and when I'm home I sit on soft cushy furniture. Sitting in the car without a pillow is the worse and I have trouble driving with a big old pillow under my butt.
I;ve been doing butt muscle building exercises lately. Hope that works.
