Tail Bone Pain

I have lost 60 lbs so far and yes my butt is flat and gone,( just 10 lbs from my goal )  I fell last Dec and cracked my cox tail, but this pain is when Im sitting or even lying side ways on my couch, I have to put a pillow behine me.
I did go see my bone Dr. He ordered a body bone scan whice showed no problem with my tail bone, I am now woundering if this weight loss is causing the problem since my cousion is gone?Any one out their that this has happen .and if so what do we do now ???

Its funny that you mention this because every time I see my BFF she mentions how much her tailbone hurts her.  She lost 200 lbs after Lap Band surgery.  You are now the second person complain of tail bone pain.  Maybe it is just not enough padding anymore. 

Unfortunately, I still have plenty of padding.  LOL  I have heard this problem with many after losing or getting to or close to goal.  I don't know what to tell ya. 
Take the good with the bad? 

BTW, congrats on being so close to your goal weight!

Yes my butt hurts too I have lost 165 lbs and I think most of it is from my butt. If you find out what can help the pain please let me know,. I hate when I have to sit on anything hard.
Congrats on you weight lost.

Yep, our cushion is gone. I've tried sitting on a pillow, but after a while it stiil starts to hurt. Oh well.

Thank you all for your responce,but has any one got treated for this problem ?? or you all just deal with it !! ??? If your in pain should this not get taken care of some how? When I sit I feel my bone on everything ,and it hurts....

When I was a sophmore in HS, a very long time ago, I broke my tailbone and it healed slightly crooked.  When I was heavier it didn't bother me, but now that I have lost 75 lbs it kills me whenever I have to sit for a little longer. Unfortunately I am not sure there is anything they can do for it..I think it's something we have to deal with now that our cushion is gone.

I am also having some hip joint problems.  I can't put my right ankle up on my left knee anymore without HORRIBLE pain shooting through my right hip and I can't even lift that leg up to take off my sock or put on/take off my shoe.  I do need to see a Dr about that I think and then I will ask him about the tail bone as well. 

Congrats on the weight loss and keep up the great work!

I have not had an injury to my rear but I have experienced my bottom gets sore when I sit too long. There isn't the padding there anymore to cushion me when I sit.

As far as what to do - each person is different and maybe you can take a pillow to sit on from now on or for the short term.

Hi

I am down 120 lbs and also have a tail bone problem.  I'm sitting right on the darned thing.  (Wouldn't have known I had one before the weight loss!)

I saw an episode of Big Medicine that featured a woman with the same problem and the plastic surgeon on the show removed her tailbone when he did her body lift.

I have some consults with PSs next month and will be asking them about the same possibility with me. 

I did have the cushion you can see on this link - and it did help but I haven't replaced it yet after I left it on a plane... :-(  was expensive.  It has a dip in the center where the handle is that if you sit in the right spot, your tail bone is "suspended in air" and doesn't actually hit the chair.

Thank You,I am their almost to my goal, but I will not wait to see a Dr. about it, and I did, my Bone Dr. did a complete body bone scan on me showed no problem with the tail bone ( even that I cracked it last winter ) so that must of healed, so I can think of is its the weight Loss, did your Dr. tell you it is from the weight loss?
