Skinny girl problems! Tail bone rubbing

(Marianne) #21

Would it be too embarrassing if you got one of those donut pillows that you can sit on? Sounds very uncomfortable!

Thank you for the compassion!

Well, the Miracle Cushion has a nice cutout area for the tailbone, so it is helping a lot for now, gratefully.

I have never had this Skinny Girl problem! Even at 96 lbs my senior year of High School I still had my booty!! Even now, at 57 (58 tomorrowšŸ˜®) after having lost 30 lbs since mid June, I still donā€™t need a cushion because I have one built in!!

Maybe is has to do more with hip bones dimensions, psoas habits, and/or previous injuriesā€¦ That would make the nervous system have various trigger points from losing the fat structure itā€™s been long accustomed to? So, itā€™s not skinniness per se, eh? :rofl:

What @daddyoh said - I had my tailbone broken by getting hit by a pickup truck while riding my bike, 20 years ago (in a few weeks). It still hurts and Iā€™ve been noticing it more lately. Hadnā€™t made the connection to being my lowest weight in 50 years, but it makes sense.

I read at some time in the dim past that some of us have more outward curvature to the tailbone than others, so some are just more prone to it hurting.

Time to go look at those cushions.

Hm I hadnā€™t thought about this as Iā€™ve never had any injuries of any kind (was/am always so risk averse, have never even fallen down hard) BUT I did have vag deliveries of 9lb+ beasts (and I am veeery small framed, needed a forceps assist with one of them) and very sore coccyx afterwards so maybe had a wee coccygeal fracture.

My formerly round enviable rear now resembles two basset ears, as does my formerly enviable chest (I was a 32 DDD yes that is an actual size :open_mouth:) hence my description by my username :grimacing:

Interesting! I have had pain there too and assumed it was something with tendons and was actually going to finally go see the doctor about it. It started about six weeks ago.

MommyJill, thanks so much for the EUREKA moment you just gave me! I thought I was losing my mindā€“that perhaps I had fallen and hurt my tailbone and couldnā€™t remember.
Iā€™ve noticed it particularly if I lie back in the bathtub, or lie in bed on my back. That said, itā€™s not a game-changer for me, but it sure is nice to know the reason for it. Cheers!

Youā€™re welcome! I have never had in my life even when I was thinner in my teens and twenties.
