tamihill 24 Posted July 1, 2012 Did you have tail bone issues prior to surgery? When i was pregnant with my daughter she basically bent my tail bone and I 've had issues ever since. So i'm not looking forward to that part. But I'll take the good with the bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robynshaw 6 Posted July 1, 2012 Did you have tail bone issues prior to surgery? When i was pregnant with my daughter she basically bent my tail bone and I 've had issues ever since. So i'm not looking forward to that part. But I'll take the good with the bad... I never had any problems pre op. it's bad now. I can't work for more than two hours without taking a walking break.

purpleamy 7 Posted July 1, 2012 Something I thought about... Maybe our spines are repositioning due to less weight in the abdominal area???? Never the less it hurts like a you know what! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmiller 146 Posted July 1, 2012 I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with having less padding? Just a thought. You might think about a Chiropractic adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaotica 96 Posted July 1, 2012 @ Kevin- the problem with such extreme weightloss is that it takes the padding as little as it may have been in the first place, and shifts things around. All the padding you once had around your tailbone has headed south. Even If it's not something you notice. Your best bet is a pillow either one you have at home or the round ones made just for that reason the ones shaped like a doughnut. To fix said problem there are tush tightening and toning exersises you can do. Try holding a chair in front of you, bend one knew and swing the bent leg behind you. Do it slowly and you will feel the glutes flex. Keep doing reps on each leg and in time the you will tone and build up enough to keep you from sitting on your tailbone. Do stay off it because bruises take so long to heal and you can also cause a stress fracture. Doesn't matter how silly you feel sitting on a pillow, because if you don't now, after the damage is done you will be anyway. I hope that helped. Feel better.

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted July 2, 2012 My goodness! I'm so sorry to read about this. Gosh! That's one problem I don't have. What about using one of those inflatable donuts? That might help, albeit a temporary solution. That's right try the inflatable donuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomorefat 74 Posted July 2, 2012 I am starting to feel bones and muscles in my body that I was never able to before. I always had a flat wife ass , and now any padding I had is gone. I feel for ya... Pillow is probably best idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msgitsme 0 Posted July 2, 2012 I had the same problem when I went back to work. I just get up and walk. I'm sorry my pain is not has bad as yours. I pray you find relief soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dstollery 290 Posted July 2, 2012 having an alignment done is probably not a bad idea, though i am with Choatica on this one, The exercises to tighten up muscle groups that support your gluteus maximus or in your case minimus would be very helpfull. =) I used to have a, how did the gf put it, heart shaped butt, but now, its kinda like a rolo candy. ROFL. Please follow up and let us know what you find that works!!! 1 chaotica reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
