Anyone Else? (Possibly Tmi)

[cludgie 81]

Ok, I am having THE most awful pain when I sit down, and think it is where my once very padded behind has gone, and left the bones at the bottom of my spine exposed (I am not complaining).

My problem is I cant sit comfortably for long enough to even watch a tv show without having pain, so I have to sit in the most bizzarre positions!

Please tell me its not only me (top tips on getting comfy also warmly welcomed)

I sit on the floor when I'm watching TV, usually with one leg bent so it lies onthe floor with my foot touching my other knee...and the other leg extended. Half of that time, I'm stretching, trying to improve my flexibility. When I'm on the computer, I sit in a padded desk chair and I try to maintain proper posture since that seems to help my back. I still have a good bit of padding in the bootay area, but it's nowhere near what it used to be.

I would see a chiropractor. Maybe you're just out of alignment. It's amazing how good my body feels after seeing mine.

I have also found this and it happens to me even if I am driving my car for a long distance. I have also place a pillow on the seat of my recliner as my tailbone seems to bother me when sitting and watching tv. You could also try and buy a lower back support pillow to see if this puts your spine in better alignment and help with the pain. Also I have no problem with trying a chiropractor as I have been to one in the past....not specifically for a sore a$$.

I've noticed this also! I never used to have trouble but now if I sit a certain way my tail bone begins to hurt. I've started to put a little pillow behind my back and I've started watching how I sit. In a way it's sort of a NSV...your new boney butt!

I don't notice it when I'm just sitting, but I recently tried yoga and there were a few times that i had to roll up onto my butt and I ended up shrieking out loud cause it hurt!! My tailbone was sooo sensitive! Luckily the "class" was in my living room on the tv and no one but the 3 month old baby i watch was watching me! I now avoid those all together.

I really hope this doesn't get worse as I lose more!

Feel better

Oh! Have you tried those donut pillows? The ones that many pregnant women use after birth or people with hip problems use after surgery? You can find them even as blow-up pillows... it may relieve the pressure and allow you to sit more comfortably.

Same here, I find sitting on an unpadded seat intolerable, my hips just can't take it. The last few visits to the chiropractor I had NO problems at all. I usually go every 6-8 weeks casue I get a crick in my back and neck and I didn't even have those the last time. I may strech out the visits or just go back as needeed.
