Hi ladies,
I,m not holding out much hope on responses to this strange one.

Have scanned old posts,( all low back pain), but mine is actually the bit at the (bottom)cocksyx?
it,s like my skin is sore/tingly achey sometimes shifts into my bottom either side of my spine??

Injured this spot many many years ago.

Hear of thumbs and toes like this,could it be similar???

Have you been to a doctor? Maybe arthritis due to the injury?

Yes I have thought that Fried I,m due back at Dr next week sometime so will get her to check it out!!

Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this
No dignity in this is there!!

Thanks Fried

Gotcha

I just had this for the last two weeks. I went to the chiropractor and the machine even picked up on it. I felt much better after being adjusted. Weird, huh?

NO??? REALLY!!

Oh I,m so relieved, Sorry don,t mean that awfully,just thought I was the only person on the planet with it!!

How did they adjust it??? Did you get burning and fizzing with it too?

Sorry a million questions,just freaks me out all these bizzare goings on!!

Glad yours has been sorted,did they say what it was??

Enough thankyou so much

Kath

I had this same thing a while back and it's called coccyxdynia. Sorry for spelling. Anyway, I posted on here and what happened was, it just went away on it's own. I can't pinpoint what started it. Maybe the way I was sitting at the pc or just a spinal/posture. Could've been the chair I was using.
Hope yours clears up soon.

For me, I think it was sitting wrong. I was visiting my mom in the hospital for two weeks and two long days in the er, Those chairs are awful. I think that's what did me in. Yes, I had a little burning too. I felt it a little yesterday after being on my feet a few hours. If I lay down flat on the floor it helps. Try a heating pad too, it may help.

I get the same thing.....nothing I take will relieve the pain..........and then it goes away on its own.......Valerie

Oh ladies you really are the best,thankyou a million times.

Just such relief hearing others with such a bizzare (thing?)

Scared val, I,ve also found with this and other pains(had horrendous toothache last month) that no pain killers seem to touch it! Thought dentist was going to find an abcess pain so awful BUT nothing there??
Have also got prescrip[tion for period pains now as over counter stuff doesn,t do much.

Glad everyones tailbones bit better

Kath

I am familiar with the tailbone issue-not fun I use ice on mine for relief and walking helps(sometimes) to get it back in place (apparently firming up those glutes aids in keeping things in line). Although sometimes making a visit to your friendly neighborhood chiropractor is necessary!

Hmm if its not enough for the hormones to go awry, the bones have to join in??? Sheesh

Hugs

I have had this off and on, too, for years. When I have it, I sit sideways to try to relieve the pressure or sit on one leg. Sometimes when I am at computer, I will sit on a telephone book with tailbone region over the edge. They have special pillows for this, too. I tried one of those inflatable rings but that didn't work so good. I will use pain creams, etc. I wonder if it's due to poor posture when sitting.
I remember falling down on my rear end many years ago and wonder if that did something to my tailbone. It's a pain in the you know when you have it.

Thankyou SOOOO much Anna and Pemmy,

Yes Pemmy I fell over years ago (wearing my friends 2sizes bigger than mine shoes) couldn,t walk for a few days hurt so much,did wonder whether it was from that.

Oh ladies thankyou again

Kath

Yep me too. I was actually relieved to run across your post...I thought I was the only one. It started a couple months ago. Seems to come and go. It seems to be most pronounced before my cycle. In fact last month we were away so I couldn't see my chiro. so I went for a massage. The massage therapist said that everything on my right side was very tight and I had a muscle knot in my right lower back. Two days later it was gone.

I've noticed that the pain sometimes travels around..buttocks etc. Do you think this is just another symptom of anxiety, tight muscles here, there and everywhere?

i had this, too, which was more pronounced during the last year i cycled and the first year i went without a period. i am of the belief that [FOR ME] it was all hormonally related. it has gotten much better; i am now 4½ yrs w/o a period and i don't feel i am nearly the "pain in the butt" i used to be. hehehe

Glad this post helped Ms Anx.

Defo for travelling pain,can move change from hurting to sore to burning pain within minutes.I sort of think if it can affect finger joints etc it can affect tailbone,mines gone off a little,but occassionally starts twinging again....

Hmmmm whatever next

MY tailbone pain has started up again!!!!........Im so done with this crap....but the pain is in my butt lol........sitting hurts and I cant get comfy in bed......but just wondering if anyone has a solution for this pain......even my leg is sensitive to touch.........I have been doing so good and now this pain is back and after a few weeks it gets to you........hope everyone is going well.........Valerie

ABSOLUTELY!! I know this is an older post but I fell in my twenties from a bar stool onto the point edge of a metal toolbox...OUCH!! It didn't bother all that much over the years. But, the last couple of years...OMG!! I found a good chiropractor who uses this adjustment machine Pro- something or other. I was pain free for 3 months. Looks like I need another trip back to the chiropractor. My cocyx (sp?) is a little to the right. I also get sciatica and sharp pains down my leg. I just go with the flow and deal as best I can. I hope you are feeling better. Mich

Yeah! Broke my tailbone at 25 then fell again on it at 30 or so. Then last summer, got twice terrible pain in my tailbone. I did not understand where it came from but reminded me of the second time when I fell as the pain lasted few months!!! Reall pain in the ...!

I do get that pain before my periods. Chiropractic adjustments help me so much - I get adjusted monthly around mid-cycle and it helps with the tailbone pain and also with menstrual cramps.

Ooooh sorry to hear your tailbone is up to tricks! Me too done with this crap.
As for relief I haven,t found anything other than deep heat lotions sort of relax the muscles a bit.

And as for that sensitive to touch feeling..... I get that anywhere and everywhere.

Lets all scream together

KathS

Kath......I remember when yours was bad........did it take awhile to get better?.........this is going about 3 wks for me.........ok one two three lets all scream....lol valerie

Hi Valerie,
Aaah that felt better,can,t beat a good scream lol
Yes took a good while was bad for few weeks then gradually eased up,then would think it had cleared off,for it to reappear!!!

Had this happen twice.

All these ailments seem to have some WARPED sense of humour,just when you think there is a pattern..... There then is NO pattern

and some other weired symptom takes it,s place and the old one occassionaly twinges again just to remind you,it "could" come back

at anytime.

Feel another scream coming on AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
