@loribmt yes the tailbone nerves are so sensitive if I rub my tailbone the pain goes right to the testicles but without getting me out of the wheelchair the surgeon told me I don’t have that. My first night with the stimulator I was sleeping in the recliner and my left foot with an electric blanket on was ice cold luckily it warmed up and didn’t do that again. I sleep with a donut cushion to set on and a pregnancy pillow (u shaped ) behind my head and under my arms . For the first time in about 8 months I got to sleep in bed last night without my feet going numb so hopefully after the incisions heal I’ll get to have somewhat a normal nights sleep. When all this happened my urologist suggested pelvic therapy I’m so glad I done it with the tailbone getting out of alignment and the pain all around the anus pelvic therapy taught me why my bowels wouldn’t move until I was realigned. She also made up a condom ice pack to set on that worked wonders (double a condom with 1/4 alcohol to 3/4 water ) it stays squishy . Hopefully somebody tries it and gets some relief as well

You have my sincerest empathy over that tail bone nerve pain! I know it’s not a comparison but years ago I fractured my tailbone during a sledding accident. Holy crow! That pain lasted for the better part of a year! So I’m really sorry you’re having to deal with that long term.

But it looks like you finally had a good night sleeping in your bed…first time in 8 months! Wow, well I hope last night was equally as good for you! May be you’ve turned the corner on this pain. Hah, your urologist was very creative with the ice pack. Obviously this wasn’t her first rodeo! I’m happy for you that you’re getting some good advice from her!
