Strange tailbone question

Has anyone noticed having a sore tailbone since losing weight?I have lost almost 80 lbs after the sleeve and exercise 5x per week. I have had no falls or accidents but I feel like my tailbone is really sensitive. I realize that my butt is much smaller but it's not that small! It feels sore sitting in my car, on the couch, etc. Anyone else have this? What did you do?

When I was at my highest weight, I had a sore tailbone constantly.

I lost some weight with the sleeve, and then my tailbone felt good again.

I lost more weight, and now I'm back to being in pain. :/

I honestly have no idea...

Maybe we just have bony butts?

YUP MY BUTT KILLS!!!! HAHA ALL WORTH IT>>

Yep, and many other bony prominences also hurt. I drive my family crazy having them feel my bones. My collar bones are very prominent, and so are by ribs. I can also feel my hip bones, and when I'm sitting my arms always seem to rest on them, and it hurts a little. My tailbone hurts if I sit wrong, but I can also feel my femur and hip bones in my behind when I sit. I can't just sit down in a hard chair. Sitting in wooden pews at church is painful. I am really surprised at how much closer my bones are to the surface than they were at this weight before I became super obese. I always say the fat dripped away from where it needs to be - what I have left seems to be puddled around my knees, lol!

My tailbone just started to hurt at times also. This must be what it is like to have a skinny but. LOL

I am so glad someone brought this up ...I thought I was going insane my tailbone is killing me. .no matter where or what I sit on.

coccyx cushion is my new best friend!!

i have 2 first one was ok but would go flat not solid enough even though it said high density second this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreatIdeas%2599-Freedom-Wedge-Cushion-Support/dp/B00DFD9W7Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394585381&sr=8-3&keywords=coccyx+cushion

is amazingggggggg doens;t go flat is comfy positions great don;t have any problems sitting now and i got pains on my tailbone and in my hips and tops of my thighs start of my butt everything dug all the time even on a sofa!

don;t know about anyone else but i have saggy butt skin which my tailbone used to love trapping and grinding on when i moved giving me blisters and irritation thats also stopped happening as there is a space and nothing to grind on now!

OMG...thought it was just me...butt bone hurts all the time...I have a pillow at work. I have found that sitting up straighter helps to a certain degree.
