Tail Bone Pain

Does anyone else have tailbone pain since losing weight? I have lost around 71 pounds and my butt bone is really starting to hurt.

yes!!!! if i sit in the car for more than 30 mins i become all squirmy lol

YES! I definitely have this issue from time to time. It almost feels as though I go through adjustment periods after enough losses have occurred. There have been times when even the comfiest of seats have not been enough to prevent me from feeling discomfort. There have been some killer car rides.

Right now, I think that I have adjusted to the current array of padding on my posterior.

At times, I wonder, "how can thin people stand sitting down?" But I guess that they're just used to it and it is different for those of us who are adjusting to having less padding. My mother-in-law is quite thin and has said that she has never had any pain. So, I really think that it is a matter of my body adjusting to the changes that it is experiencing. It will hopefully get better and better over time!

Yes, Yes, my spin session/bike ride at the gym is killing my tail bone lately. I also rubbed it raw while doing incline sit ups, ouchhhhh.

Same here, how do those skinny ass people do it anyhow :)

I fell off my bike TWICE and have really got it bad now. Time and pain relievers is what it's going to take. Padded bike shorts help on the bike, perhaps they'd help in your situation?

I was wondering what in the heck is happening! Sorry to hear of all your pain, but glad to hear I am not crazy!:D

OMG!!! I'm not retarded! I really thought something was wrong with my a%$! I dropped a 116lbs, and my butt kills me! I have to get up frequently at work (Sit down job) and car rides are torture. Someone recently asked me if I had a hemaroid problemm because I kept squirming!!! LOL!! :P

Tinka, that is too funny!

Thank goodness it's not just me! I thought I was going crazy, it's a real problem for me with the 70 pound cushion gone!

Same here. Used to have really big butt, now it's flatter than a flitter (whatEVER that is!). Can't even sit in a recliner very long!

Horrible pain, and I am not even skinny yet! I hope my little booty does adjust as we go along because I have a desk job also and right now i have a big pillow sitting on my office chair. It is so sad the butt & boobs are the first to go. :(

I sure do hate hearing this! I've had pretty bad tailbone pain for 8 mos. now and I haven't even been sleeved yet!! Ahhhhh! Haven't been able to ride my spin bike, or my horse much...hell, I can't even ride the recliner much either, constantly getting up and taking the pressure off. I think some chiropractic adjustment may be in my very near future

Yes I had that problem,but for me its got better,dont even notice it anymore and im 7 month out lost 60 lb. my wt is 169.
