Pain in the butt

OMG...my tailbone is KILLING me. I am not a baby, I have done so well, but this pain is terrible. Especially when I sit in my puter chair. Anyone else have this trouble?

I am thinking that perhaps I had a previous tailbone injury and the surgery (TVH) re-injured or bruised it.

Wow, this is bad.

If it just started, it may not be related to the surgery since your surgery was a month ago. I love chiropractic treatments. That may be an option.

Not only my tailbone, but my lower back, too. And my hemorroids.

Resting is KILLING me.

The only relief I've found is changing which chair I sit in frequently - we have several with arms that I just keep rotating thru.

When the pain gets too bad, I just walk around until I tire myself out & start it all over again.

I tried to inflatable donut, but I can't figure out how to sit on it properly. I may ask my DH to pick up one of those pillows designed to take pressure off the tailbone - you know the ones with the cutout at the back?

I usually do some yoga poses in the morning to release my lower back, but I can't bend like that right now.

If I get that pillow & it helps, I'll let you know!

I had a TAH and had pain from sitting for a while after my surgery.

My tailbone pain started about 6 weeks or so and continued for about 2 weeks. I think other ladies have experienced this as well.
