Tailbone pain

Anybody ever hurt their tailbone by trying to sit on something that was to big ?

No, but I did fall down a set of icy steps once. Not sure if I cracked it or just bruised it, but for many years, and I do mean many, my tailbone still hurt sometimes occasionally, especially if I sat on a soft surface for a long time. I always thought that was odd that a soft surface would do that, but a hard one not so much? Anyway, if you can avoid hurting your tailbone, I highly suggest doing so.

You can definitely injure your tailbone, or more accurately or more frequently, the soft tissues around it when you try to jam something in that is too big, too rigid or in the wrong direction (continuing to aim caudally instead of ventrally) once you have passed through the rectum and are entering the sigmoid colon.

You can even cause bleeding from soft tissue injury at times with soreness that stays for a day or two.

I'm sure you can figure out how I know this. 😁 😁 😁 😁

When I was a child I fell on the concrete side walk and badly bruised my tail bone. It has bothered me my entire life. As I get older it gets worse. Over time there was a bone spur that formed on it. A natural reaction of the body attempting to grow new bone due to injury. Yes, It's a "Pain In The Ass!" and it's not funny at all.

My younger sister injured her tailbone thirty years ago and a few years after the injury developed a pilonidal cyst. Ultimately it burst and she needed surgery to remove it.

I never injured my tailbone by trying to sit on something too big, but I have fractured it twice. Once was a horse-related incident (go figure) and the other was last year in a fall at home. I can't think of much that hurts more than that, I'd rather have another baby than do that again (no chance).

I've hurt my tailbone sitting on huge toys but the pain usually subsides after a few days and as long as I go very slowly, I can sink down onto most of my Huge toys without causing any permanent damage...

My brother in law had to have his coccyx readjusted by his chiropractor because of chronic tailbone pain. He said it's not pleasant having it done. He said he had to lay face down on an exam table. The chiropractor inserted her gloved index finger up his rectum as far as it would go, then pulled up toward his tailbone. He said he felt a slight snap, and it hurt like hell for just a second. She kept upward pressure for about a minute, then withdrew her finger. He's not been bothered with tailbone pain ever since, but the chiropractor told him not to sit for long periods of time without getting up and stretching, to always sit down slowly, and never try lifting heavy objects from a low stance. Lifting is what caused his problem in the first place.
