Pain in the butt - Can't sit down

I too have seen every kind of specialist & had so many tests it is hard to try one more time. Then while in the hospital for a different reason, a Dr's assistant came by for the unrelated reason I was there & noticed I couldn't sit in the bed. I even tried sitting with a pillow tilting me at an angle. He found out that my tailbone had been jammed from a blunt trauma, had damaged the bones & tip, damaging the nerves. The suggestion was remove the tailbone. The problem is finding a surgeon that agrees & will do it. Haven't found one. So after 23+ yrs, I still have the pain. The Dr's assistant worked for the hospital & not a Dr I could make an appt with. So close. At least I know what it is though. I hope you can find a surgeon that has the knowledge to know what to look for & do something about it. I thought an orthopedic surgeon would be the right kind. The one I saw that actually agreed, moved to another state. His replacement, doesn't address tailbones. It's a bone isn't it? Frustrated. I hope the best for you quickly.

I saw a pelvic floor specialist too and each time I went to therapy I would be in worse pain than when I arrived. I will look into a physiotherapist and see if they can help. Thank you for your recommendation I really appreciate it. Not giving up just very frustrating chronic pain has definitely debilitated my ability to do anything. Thank again.

I have similar issue but it is more evident when sitting in a soft cushion chair. This plays havoc with my sciatic nerve. I have been sitting on hard chairs which seems to be counterintuitive but it allows me to sit for much liner periods of time. Your other option is get a cushion which is attached to a battery pack which inflates and deflates periodically. This has been a life saver. The one that I have is made by Best Seat but I believe they are out of business. Google "Alternating Pressure Air Cushions" and you'll find a selection of styles.

Yes. Friends will be there until they give up…but family and true friends will be there IF YOU REACH OUT. I can definitely relate. It’s been 6 years of pain, lymphoma, spine surgery’s. I need to feel independent and I hate asking for help but that is exactly what keeps people away

Wendy has your spine surgery helped you? I have spinal stenosis nd I’m scared to have surgery on my spines I have a pinched nerve in my lumbar too

This happened to me a couple of years ago, and my tailbone was out of place. I saw a physical therapist that adjusted my tailbone, and the pain went away! The pain was excruciating to the point that it was hard to stand or sit. Luckily, I was referred to this physical therapist. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico. Where this physical therapist is. I hope this helps you and that you find answers to while you have your pain. Just a thought. I’m not sure if the same things happening to you that happened to me. I believe mine happened after a colonoscopy that I had. Because the pain was so severe after the colonoscopy. I think they bent my coccyx. Take care.

I know it sounds crazy. What I put about adjusting the tail bone. I had CT scan with and without contrast, they could not see it in the image. I know that you’ve done a lot. It took I think a couple of times for my tailbone to stay in the right spot. I hope that this helps you. it was actually adjusted internally. Not the most comfortable or fun things to have done. But when you’re in a lot of pain, you’re probably willing to do anything for that pain to go away. I hope your pain goes away.

ME TOO, IM NO HELP BUT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

I'm having the colorectal outpatient surgery next week for no healing anal fissures. I'm nervous about possibility of incontinence.

Same issues to the point of no entry intercourse and anal fissures that won't heal due to spasms and tight pelvic floor muscles.
