Pain in rear end after weighr loss

[avremy 34]

Hi

Ever since i lost my first 35 pounds i found that my rear end hurts after sitting more than 20 minutes, im guessing its because o now have less padding, is this something other ppl experiance ? And what solutions are there bcause i have a 12 hour flight tomorrow and am freaking out

I had to sit through a 15 hour one. My suggestion would be rotate between sitting on your pillow and switching sides from weight bearing.. other than that, I am afraid there is not much else that could be done.
Oh, try to change your seat to an isle one so you can get up and stand up every once in a while when things start going numb.[emoji23]

I have the same problem and also recently took a long flight. Like the other poster said, alternate putting the little airline pillow under you. It really helped me to wedge it between the seat and my tailbone to remove some of the pressure. Aisle seat was key for me.

Omg I have same problem! I thought I was going nuts.

I'm thinking it could be:

- Less cushion (as mentioned in this topic already)

- Depleted muscle mass (happens with weight loss but especially if not getting enough protein)

- Sitting on a toilet too much/hemorrhoids

Get a coccyx cushion.

Thanks guys

Anyone know if this is a short term problem or long term?

Agreed ! Same problem and I wondered about me [emoji1]

Me too. I don't think it's hemorrhoids because the pain is much more in the cheeks/upper leg area. I guess I'll get some pillows.

Mine is coccyx pain for sure. My tailbone protrudes so much more now that it's not covered in fat. I had to get a pillow for work and it makes it better but sometimes the only thing that really helps is to get up and walk around and get the pressure off my butt.
