Pain in the butt / coccyx!!

[HanSam]

Hey - I am beginning to really struggle with pain in my coccyx / tail bone! It started a couple of weeks ago and is now becoming unbearable. Especially as I sit in a chair most the day for work!!

Has anyone else suffered with these aches / pains and did you find anything that helped ease the pain?

Yeah I had it for a couple of days a few weeks ago. It's horrible isn't it! I know it hurts but the best thing I found was to go for a walk, then it usually eased off a bit for me x

I have the same. Sitting on a hard chair all day doesn't help or the fact that i have a boney arse! I have a nice confy cushion i sit back on and sometimes i put a small type of baby blanket on the chair so it's a bit softer on my bum, that helps too. Ask your work for a foot stool too that works.

Or as suggested above go for a little wander and take regular breaks.

Bath in the evening helps, don't have many showers these days, just baths. My poor water meter but so what!

Ooooo yeah I forgot to mention baths! What a lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!!

Same, have had it for the past couple of months! I've now invested in a cushion for my office chair. Doesnt solve it but does help. Also getting up once an hour helps too.x

I got work to get me a coccyx cushion. Look it up on Amazon you'll get a few hits. Mines square with a cutout at the back for your bum bone. It's made of like memory foam stuff and is wedged shaped. Really helped me our because I wash getting a really numb bum and coccyx ache.

eBay do them for less then a tenner including P&P! Bring on payday so I can get me one! LOL xx

Ah thanks glad its not just me! Thanks for tips I have asked my work about the donut style cushions if not ill buy one and bring it in as its that painful at mo.

Baths are a godsend for me too! I suffer with fibromyalgia and so often have baths to help sooth aches and pains. When i found out wasn't meant to have steaming hot baths didnt know how i would cope!

Today i have also started getting up and walking around the office etc which eases it. But as soon as sit down its painful x

I get this but only at work. Started a few weeks ago. I'm fine sitting down and ok once I'm up, it's the getting up bit! Lol. It's really sore, makes me feel like an old lady getting out of her chair! xx

Definitely get a cushion

My coccyx was damaged when I gave birth to AJ and still regularly suffer though not as bad. You can use one of those neck pillows as a quick fix to sit on, I got one from £1 shop

Hope it eases soon for you. x

Aawww I know exactly how you feel, I broke the bottom of my back last year in the snow. To be honest nothing worked for me except posture and sitting on cushions under my legs so my coccyx wasn't touching the chair (I just could not bring myself to use a ringed cushion lol). Hope it clears up soon xxxxxxxxxx
