Tail bone trials!

[picklemewalnuts]

I have an old tail bone injury which is flaring up. Can anyone suggest a solution?

It was knocked during Labour and gradually recovered after. I just got an occasional twinge if I sat on a hard seat for too long.

It's flared up again though, and really hurts every time I stand up. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No one else found a remedy?

Mine is only just feeling less sore after an injury 4 years ago! Only thing I found that helped was using a doughnut type cushion on every seat to not put direct pressure on it.

Its possible and most likely you broke it during labour. I know i did. As such it cant be wrapped ip and healed in a normal way . I can feel mine grind etc.

Good to know a doughnut helps! I looked at various cushions online, but the reviews were all a bit dodgy.

To encourage you, my son is now 25 and it's honestly been fine for years! It's just been set off by something recently!

That sent shudders through me! Ouch.

I injured mine during childbirth 18 months ago and took weeks to feel better, I have had one flare since. I just took ibuprofen, pillows when sitting, remember to move frequently. If I remember getting up from sitting was agony so if you can find some chairs you don't sink into then that would be good. If I think of anything else I'll come back

Chiropractor appointment?

Physiotherapy is probably a good idea.

Thanks @Kayjay2018 . Believe it or not, I'd forgotten to take ibuprofen. It's usually my go to for back pain.

It's the pain on standing that gets me- I've rearranged chairs, raised my office chair and avoid sitting too long when I can. I'm going to try sitting cowboy style today, see if that helps!

I broke mine during labour and it took about 5 years to not hurt but 25 is a lot! I would get it investigated.
