Tailbone anyone???

Has anyone have or had tailbone pain?  I have been hving extensive tailbone pain for the past couple months.  No, I have not injured myself, I just have the case of no butt padding.  But it hurts when I sit for long periods of time and if I sit in the wrong chair.  I have to get up at work every 30 minutes or so to move around. 

Hey, Melissa:

I actually broke my tailbone skiing years ago.....talk about uncomfortable!

Yes, once I really started losing the weight, I was having to reposition myself sitting.   I would never, in a million years, have thought I would need more padding...but it would have helped.  Luckily, over time, I guess things moved around and I don't have the problem any longer.

If it keeps up, you may want to see your PCP to make sure you haven't hurt something.  I hope it's better soon.

Pretty normal occurence but as mentioned it does readjust.  :)

Melissa, for me it's not my tail bone it's my hips that cause me issues, if I sit to long or in one position too long they hurt, it feels like they are bruised, it the oddest thing. I never once thought that my body would hurt more now in some places, than when I was so much heavier.

Mellissa   I have issues with my tail bone and hips.     The weight shift sent me into physical therapy and they slowly worked me into the gym.    Back pain has eased some.    But I need reconstruction lift in the gut.    6 months or so hope insurance lift and repair of hernia, 

I guess ladies we just lost our padding that we were so use to and when the weight came off we have to adjust how we sit. My daughter who is 4 years out has a hard time sitting her tailbone hurts her all the time, now with me I am 18 months out and my tailbone stop hurting about 1 month ago. She is alot smaller than me.  Hang in there

Melissa - i have been having tailbone issues, but i thought it was just due to bike riding too much at the gym.  Anyway, hope you feel better soon.  lys

Good am Melissa,

Seems like its a common theme amongst WLS folks. Losing our padding and having things shift around can cause issues. I've sought a chiropractor (different than the 1st I saw) and its been helping. I've also gotten back to walking which helps greatly. In addition, consider getting a comfort pad for your chair(s) and its best to get up at least once per hour and move around. I hope things get better for you. :) 

All best!

I have a cracked tailbone and have this issue as well as the hips an back so it comes w/ the journey. Good luck.
