Chop that sucker off!

So when I lost weight back in 2001, my tailbone started hurting really badly. I don't remember what injury happened or when, but I guess the loss of padding made it suddenly a lot more obvious. It's been hurting ever since, off and on. When it's 'on' it's on for a few months and it hurts to sit and to go from sitting to standing, or even just from

I'd do it too. Surgery isn't always the best option, but in this case I think I would.

I've noticed my tailbone becoming annoying as I've lost weight over the past year, too. First I noticed it in my car's driver's seat, and more recently when I'm sitting on the floor (carpeted!) to stretch after a work out.

I don't think I've injured it yet though. Your situation sounds brutal... I'm glad you've found something that can be done about it.

I noticed it in the car first, too, all those years ago. I had a piece of foam with a V cut out of the back of it that I would sit on in the car to take pressure off of the tailbone.
