Ok. this is a new one for me guys.... tail bone pain.
When sitting in a chair, and you look down, or put chin to chest, it feels like my tail bone is on FIRE. I have stretched, I have soaked. .. I have not fallen on it .
I run about 2-3 miles at varied elevation @5mph in about 30 minutes. I do Bodyrock once a day. I stretch tons...
WHY, HOW, WHAT... most importantly.. how do you make it stop? :/
Thanks in advance.

    Since it's not an all the time pain and you described it as a burning sensation, it sounds like you might have a pinched nerve. Probably best to check in with your doctor though, since it's something involving back/spine.

    This.

    In the meantime, I would also suggest trying an anti inflamatory, like Aleve, and see if they helps at all. And REST! If you're running, I'd take a week off if you can, and definitely check in w the doctor.

    I agree with all of the above. It does indeed sound like to me that you have inflamed a nerve.................if you can't give up all exercise, perhaps walking at an easier pace...........................you definitely don't want to exacrbate whatever is going on...........if it persists even after taking Aleve and resting...................see the doc......................... :sick:
