Tailbone pain

Pitridge · #1 April 25th, 2012, 02:42 PM

Since my fall on Saturday, my tailbone is killing me. It's worse when I seat, which it's all day, so I'm in constant pain. Has anyone had this pain before? What did you do?

Go and get yourself a Coccyx Cushion. They are the best. I had to buy one when PG with DS since he liked to lie on my back and it was the only way I got relief. I still sit on it today since I found it actually helps when sitting 12+ hours at a time. Donut pillow may also help but I really found the Coccyx Cushion the best. I ordered mine online but used a donut until it came in. (I think walmart still sells the donuts).

You might want to go get checked out if it continues to hurt. My brother fell when he was 17ish and his tailbone curled inwards from the fall. He had to go to the chiropractor daily for over a month but he is fine now. Chances are you just bruised it but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I haven't had a fall but I still get tailbone pain while pregnant. I would bring it up with your doctor--mine offered to refer me to a physical therapist.

I have an appointment in a weeks and half, so I will ask. I was reading that it could last for months

It seems like they have tons of these, where did you get yours?
