What have you done to alleviate the pain/symptoms of a numb tingling butt?

@jess9395 great tip, thank you for sharing the illustration.

My major complaint is not really being able to enjoy my bathtime anymore. Hurts the heck out of my bony butt! Anyone else who enjoys a nice relaxing bath having this problem now that you've lost weight?

Baths are the primary joy of my existence. I desperately hope I don't have this issue!!!! *frantically researches waterproof cushions to sit on*

Ahhha! A wonderful idea that I had never thought of, and I am SURE something like this exists. Thank you!

A coccyx cushion does help. Remember that the open part goes towards the rear...which my dumb arse didn't think of for the first while! The idea is to get get rid of that pressure point on your tailbone.

I went through a terrible phase of it as well and then it eventually started to go away on its own. I still get uncomfortable sitting for prolonged periods of time but don't get the tailbone pain that I used to have. Unfortunately I have no real explanation as to why/when it decided to go away. It's just one of those things that eventually does.

The surgery does some weird ass stuff to your body...lol

Is it miserable to ride horseback? Thought I'd start up again when I'd lost my weight. Right now if I'd. walk in a stable the horses would either glare at me or hide in the other end of the barn where I couldn't find them so easy

Hi y’all, I’m just shy of 9 months post. The last couple of months it’s been ridiculous having to sit down. Within ten minutes, my bum gets numb and tingling. I am constantly shifting positions to try and alleviate it some. I’ve been searching for ways to hopefully get rid of it. Main thing is probably to workout my bottom and strengthen the glutes, but I want to hear if anyone has had some success with whatever you’ve done to get rid of the numbness and tingling. Btw...if I sit for 10-15 mins, the symptoms don’t go away at all! I have to go to bed with it still going. A bit frustrating.

I thought it was only me haha! My left hip gets numb and itchy when I sleeep!!
