Tailbone .... Will it ever stop hurting?
I know that my body has changed a great deal, but when will my tailbone stop bothering me when I sit? It doesn't seem to matter how soft the chair, after a few minutes my tailbone is sore. And God forbid I sit on a hard chair. I have a similar problem in bed. If I sleep on my side (and I do) my right hip begins to hurt. I bought a mattress thinking that I had ruined the old one with my weight, but the issue is still there...

I still have a bit of an issue with my tailbone for sitting for a long time. My spine hurts a little when I do situps too. I have a constant bruise there and almost always have a red mark on my tailbone, and that is after gaining 25lbs of muscle. The only thing I can say is to do what I am doing and gain muscle, it helps.
You got to build up them ass muscles! And no holding in a deadly fart does not build your ass muscles.

I don't have your problem, but I like to look for solutions and make suggestions. Talk to your primary doctor and explain in detail the type pains you get and what you think causes it. You mention sitting on a hard chair and even sleeping on your side. Years ago, most insurance did not cover chiroprators but that has changed over the last 10 years. Your primary may be suggest a specialist in usual branches of medicine as well as chiropracty.
Also, you may want to try one of those specialty pillows that you sit on like the donut pillows for hemorhhoids. Actually, as I think that the hardness of the chair does not seems to make much of a difference, the pillow solution makes sense since you are redistributing the points at which you are applying your weight, i.e., from your tailbone to the circumference of the pillow.
