Broken coccyx

[whirliebird]

Has anyone else broken their coccyx whilst giving birth? I did, and I'm just wondering how long it takes to heal/when you stop feeling such pain/stiffness and discomfort. Any advice/stories from others would be much appreciated x

Hi, yes I did too. It improved fairly quickly although it was uncomfortable to sit on a hard backed chair for any length of time for a couple of months. It stopped hurting at all by about 3 months I think. I found feeding with a big pillow or cushion supporting DC really helped.

Thanks for replying it's 4 months since I gave birth and there's no improvement. I can't lie on my back and sitting in any chair leaves me sore and stiff when trying to get out of it. Guess I'll just have to grin and bear it and hope it runs its course. Glad to hear yours is better and fingers crossed mine soon will be too! X
