ive had this since giving birth to my eldest daughter shes nearly 26, I cant sit on my bum, I have to sit on my side, yesterday sitting on the hard chairs for 20mins meant I could hardly walk after, I usually take a soft pillow with me, people must think Ive got piles[lol]

There is a rubber flat pillow called a coccyx pillow. Look up on the net. I take this pillow everywhere I go. Hard for me to sit period. Have you thought about an ablation or nerve block n the area???? Hugs

oooh have had this in the past, coxyx pain has to be one of the worst pains. Feel for you hun.

yes i do have coxyx pain too . it could be an old injury that the fibro messaging is telling that part of your body isnt healed or wear and tear . I have lumber stonosis which is my pain cause , but even though i had my hernia op i still get the exact pain as though i've not had the op.It is worth a trip to our GP just for a check up . Hope this helps, hugs poppy xx

I get coccyx pain too, due to carrying large babies...Hope you're feeling better soon. x

I used to have that after breaking mine 3 times over a few years. Eventually had op to remove it. Before that had steroid injections into it. Hurt like merry hel but stopped the pain for about 3 months at a time. A foam ring cushion was the best to sit on.

I have permanent Coccyx pain from an old ice skating injury I had over 25 years ago. Fibro has definitely exacerbated it - I need a hot water bottle on my lower back when I go to bed otherwise it's too painful to lie on it. :) :)

Hi. I also have this almost every day. I use a heat spray as soon as I can move to get the spray. I use a patch or cream if I am going out. They make a huge difference. Good thing is that they are all available in the cheap shops now at £1 or a little more. Best of luck. Fi x

I have had the severe coccyx pain for sometime now. I do remember when I felt like you do. My entire coccyx and my vaginal area was racked with pain. Finally I got into to the pain doctor. He injected my ganglion coccyx area and I was fine. Now we are working on an ablation in the same area. At the tip of your tail bone is a clump of nerves that come together. They can be troublesome, so I did receive a ganglion impar block and it worked. Now I will go back for the ablation. I have pain from the knees down to my feet. Very very painful. The new drug I added is Gralise (gabapentin) tablets, (slow release). I am on a starter pack. We will see. So sorry for your discomfort. We all suffer in similar ways. Hang in there.
