Tailbone pain after weight loss..

I know this is an older post but I just found it now and I have a similar issue.

I just lost 42lbs in 6 months and whenever I sit down in my car, on the sofa, in the chair Im in now typing this, I can feel my tailbone. It doesnt hurt, just feels funky.... I imagine it will take longer to "rebuild" my body & build some muscle. I never worked out before during my weight loss until after I dropped under 180, Im 168 now. I guess had I worked out along with the weight loss maybe I wouldnt be feeling my tailbone so much...

Nope. I started a workout regimen at the beginning and am more muscular than I've ever been and still have the problem. It's loss of the fat pad.

This can be a totally unrelated coincidence. Fat people and thin people can experience this. Either you have a cyst or you don't. You can have them your entire life with no problems or they can become inflamed and cause an abscess which requires surgery.

If you have tailbone pain and press at the tip of the tailbone and this is where your pain is, especially after significant weight loss, it's probably not related the pilonidal cyst, which you may or may not have.

i haven't lost much weight post my 4 month course on decdak steroids along with the intense 6 week radiotherapy to treat my tumors and help the facial palsy resultant of the one in my ear and neck. But i did manage to come down from62 kg to 54 and gained much of muscle and bone power in the last 6 months...

In June i went through the radiotherapy with a dose of excessive steroids to salvage my face, and my bones refused to support my weight while going up and down the stairs or even walking..

Now i am sure 62 kg don't sound much but being a dancer all my life.. it was a weight very hard for me to manage.. especially with the weakening bones underneath, and then i spent the best 5000 bucks of my life.. i mean Rs. 5000/-. I bought i bicycle.. plain and simple no gears no shockers.. Just like the one in used to ride when i was a child.. cause in the good old days.. there was not much of an option, here in this country. I would like to mention that i am 28 just for the reference.

So in the last 6 months i lost 8 kg, the hardest weight loss in my life. I would like to mention, i one went down from 56 to 38, but i was young and had the strength to do it all back when i was 20.But this time it wasn't just the weight loss, i came from barely climbing the stairs to riding my bicycle all up and swingy for an hour at least 5 days a week. Naturally, the tailbone had to hit me..

Well being a dancer i haven't really had a very strong tailbone since i have always tried to defy the limitations it set me too.. but loosing weight sure does **** things up. Mostly because of the muscles around the tailbone. If you have a fat lump around the tailbone, it would cushion it.. but not all slim people have issues with their tailbones.

It is so because the muscles around the tailbone need to be strong and developed. When you are fat that is not possible, and while you loose the extra fat around your tailbone, it takes time for the left over muscles to get strong enough to support the tailbone without the fatty cushion we are so used too.

So give it time, and if you are young, don't give up on your exercise because of it. The more persistent you are, the better your situation will be with time and the healthier it is for you. If you are old, i would suggest, relax a bit and cut on your diet to not gain back the extra fat around it. That's the worst punishment.

Having the same issue. Pain both at the base of my spine around the tailbone and near my pelvis beneath my bottom. If I'm not the only one, then that's got to be it. I haven't changed anything else (as if changing your entire lifestyle to lose 150+ lbs is no big deal, right?). Posture change helps me temporarily, and I'm hoping to get the mild muscle swelling, etc., to go down using NSAIDs and the like. My couch is too low, and I can't just "sit back and relax" anymore. I have to sit up straight, which usually means a pillow under my butt and another behind my back. Keeps me temporarily in line, at least. I use a donut pillow at work, but I don't sit right on it: I sit forward on my chair and let my tailbone hang over the back of the cushion without touching anything. It takes the pressure off and helps the swelling to subside. In this way I hope to heal - and I know it takes time. I guess this is why the skinny people are never comfortable sitting still for lengthy periods of time and always have to get up and move around.

15mg of meloxicam daily. But that is because I have degenerative osteoarthritis in my coccyx.
THE to is pointed 70 degrees forward from normal. Icy steps did me in over a decade ago.
