Sitting

Good morning all. Last evening I posted on FaceBook that I was in severe pain in the bottom and was going to bed just after 7 o'clock. Some folk didn't seem to understand how dreadful I felt.

How many of you have a similar pain in the butt? How do you find relief?

Wishing you all that you wish for yourselves.

Yep I have severe pain in butt and down upper legs. Difficult to sit comfortably and yet too tired to keep moving or standing. I use a heat pad and have a hot bath every evening. I also have a shower every morning. Just let the water run over my sore muscles . Hope you find some relief soon. X

I have the most awful pain in my buttocks, so bad that I shuffle about on my chair, sometimes it’s so bad it brings tears to my eyes.

The pain moves from one cheek to the other and I sit on a very expensive cushion especially for people with severe pain. My medication is beginning to stop now every 4 hours I cry or moan as quietly as I can the pain radiates down my legs, to my feet, that are freezing cold even when it’s hot and sunny.

I’ve been feeling more &more depressed of late, using my electric scooter and disability chair swapping them about. They hurt me after a while too.

No cure

No solution just keep taking the pills Oxynorm or OxyContin. Together with a 100gms Matrix patch. I don’t even get a fussy head anymore.

Wish everyone better

Morning sweetie I have just been going through this my bottom felt like I was sitting on glass. With my it was nerve related. I had a steroid injection and steroid tablets also diazepam. Or another doctor suggested increasing amitriptyline and pre-Gabalin which I didn’t do. I am nearly three weeks in and it’s just starting to ease up now. I know how difficult it is to live with but you have to keep as much pressure off your bottom as possible. If you can get a cushion ring to sit on it does help a little. I got a white medical foam one from amazon and they are not very expensive. I truly sympathise with you it absolutely awful to deal with. Also if you are in a car it would be wise to sit on a cushion. I truly hope that it ease of soon for you sweetie. Take good care of yourself. Love and hugs 🌹🌿🌹🌿🤗🤗😘😘🤞🤞

I am so sorry to hear that and I hope that you will feel better soon. I don’t drink. However I hope that you don’t drink with your meds Erny as that can be very dangerous for your insides. Get well soon. xx

Do you mean tail bone/coccyx pain? It can feel like sitting on glass but improves when standing.

Have you had Vitamin D3 tested?

Mine is hypothyroid related (with poor T4/T3 conversion) and is slowly improving with the addition of T3.

I had the same many years now, about 12 years ago I was diagnosed with coccydinia, how did the doctor find that out? He shoved a finger up my butt and tried to wiggle my coccyx!! After scraping me off the ceiling he diagnosed me with coccydinia! Might be worth looking into xx good luck xx
