Rear End Hurts!

Is this tailbone pain or butt pain? I was dealing with tailbone pain for about 3 years before I saw a doctor. I thought I had just lost my cushion too, but it turns out that my tailbone was curved outward from giving birth and it had to be removed. Pain free ever since.

Nope, not tailbone pain. The pain centers directly on what people would call the "sitting" bones ... in the yoga world, they call it the sitz bones.

I've noticed pain in my rear since I've been doing the stationary bike. It doesn't bother me so much on the recumbent bike, but I've given the stationary bike a break for a couple weeks and I'm still sore. I was thinking of bringing in one of those sheepskin seat covers to see if that helps. I have two bad knees so I don't have many options for cardio and am doing 45 minutes 3 times a week. I like to switch between the two bikes to break up the monotony. I am thinking about bringing it up when I see my doctor, too.

I have noticed this too...mostly when I do yoga or other exercises when I have to balance on my tailbone (i.e. some ab work). I have to put a small towel under by tailbone. When I sit on hard chairs I notice it, too. Never had this issue before!
