anyone have more back or tailbone pain since losing weight

I originally had problems with my back before i had sugery. I was told then if I lost weight it would help alot. This was not my reason for the sugery this was way before i even knew about the sugery. Well now I am 136 pounds lighter and my back is hurting more. I have found out that I have a pertruding disc in the bottom of my spine and arthritus is setting in my back and the lower spine curves way too much. I have also noticed that my tail bone hurts so much when sitting, sometimes walkig or even soaking in the tub so i try not to lay on my back to soak in the tub. It can feel like the bone is ready to just pop out and I seem to know when I lose more weight because the tail bone hurts more. I guess it is used to having padding for it and it no longer has. Am I the only one with this problem?

Hello: I can't speak for the back pain, but I definitly have noticed a problem with pain in the tailbone. It is especially bad when trying to ride a bike of any kind for exercise, no matter how padded the seat is. I have even gotten the equivalent of what is like a bedsore from the lack of padding. I guess it is a small price to pay and I don't think we are going to get much sympathy . Good luck with your back problem, I hope you find some type of pain relief for your disc.

Im happy to see I am not the only one experiencing this! Sometimes just even sitting hurts! ~Kristin

Hi, Well I also have trouble sitting for long periods of time. Going to a movie is a squirming experience, lol. I also think it is just because I have a skinnier butt now, but now that I read your post, maybe it could be something to do with the surgery. hmmmm. I have lost 175 pounds AND had a baby boy on December 4th 2003. Can you spell S U R P R I S E?? he was truly a surpise, but Is such a happy, adorable, curious little guy. A real blessing to us all! Are there foods that you just cant eat? I have problems with rolls, bagels, etc. Please email me when you can. ty Tina
