tailbone issues
on 12/12/15 6:31 am
Has anyone here had any issues with tailbone pain after weightloss? I've noticed in the last two weeks that I can feel my tailbone when I recline or lay down, sitting is okay. I've always been exceedingly narrow through the legs and hips. Especially for a 395 pound man. Think of a grapefruit balanced on two toothpicks. I asked my surgeons office, and was told this condition is very common. Is this common?
Very common. I have special pillows that are everywhere- my office, car, etc. I can't sit for long on a hard surface. Forget bathtub. Initially was much worse, but over the years I got used to it and learned how to sit.

Yes, I also had this problem. And the the good veterans at this site recommended a ****yx cushion. (I found one on Amazon, they have many to choose from). I used mine in the car on long trips and on any hard surfaces. Funny thing, I used it for a few month and now I no longer need it. I don't know if I learned to sit differently or what, but it really helped when I needed it. Like H.a.l.a.B. said, this is a skinny persons problem, so welcome to the skinny club!
I would say that this happens to every single person. It eventually fades, for the most part. But for the next year, expect a pretty sore ass.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. My ass has absolutely no padding anymore and I can't seem to sit still. I'm constantly shifting positions because my ass hurts if I don't. I get up and walk around a lot at home because of it. Unfortunately at work I drive a car most of the day and its hard to keep comfortable.
