I broke my tailbone off 25 years ago after a very hard fall down an entire flight of stairs. After the bone had to be removed i wasnt given any after care bh the surgeon just patted me on the back and shoved me out the door. I've had level 11 pain for all these years. I have a rare genetic eye disorder and I'm going blind now, and need to get up and be more active, but that was impossible with the pain from that area. I did the part with the football and the other movement you guys showed. I'm almost in tears to where the pain is almost entirely gone and it was instantly. I'm going to continue this and hopefully remain pain free. You both are phenomenal instructors and I am so utterly grateful to you both for sharing your knowledge. ❤❤❤ Thank you both.

Bob & Brad, You are god sent. I was desperate yesterday night, after 6 months of tailbone pain. I tried all wedge cushions,donut cushions and also took a steroid injection. I saw an earlier video of the pillow trick and have been following that since last month and that was the only relief in my life. This problem is so unaddressed. No doctor pays any attention to it and a patient lives a crippled disabled life. I have completely avoided going out, travelling, meeting friends, I avoid sitting and stay home isolated to avoid pain. Yesterday night I prayed hard and kept crying due to the pain and the fear of having this for lifetime and today I came across this video. You are truly god sent. I am sitting on a chair right now typing this message with 90% reduction in pain. I didn't have the back pod or ball but i saw your other hot and cold pack sock rice video and used that as a support and did this exercise thrice for 2 mins in the past 3 hours. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou So much. You guys should be awarded something precious for all the free service you are doing and for changing and touching our lives. ❤️ May god bless you with all the happiness in the world !

When I was in 4th grade, a classmate thought it funny and tripped me in PE class while I was running backwards. I experienced sciatic pain, hip pain, and lower back pain since. I am in my mid 50's now and live every single day with back pain. An MRI done several years ago, confirmed a fracture of the coccyx bone. This is the first time I have ever heard the issue addressed. Thank you!!! ❤

I can honestly say that the single most effective thing I have found to reduce the pain is accupuncture and several stretches. My acupuncturist has been working with me for over 2 years. Over time, it has significantly reduced my pain levels. I am finally almost pain-free for much longer periods of time.

Thank you so much for this! I fell two weeks ago and fractured my tailbone for the second time in my life. The first time, it jammed my SI bone just like you said and no one has ever told me how to fix that. It’s been painful for so long! I’ll definitely try this once the new fracture heals!

I use the pillow for my tailbone pain. I roll it up like you did, and tie it on each side with a strip of cloth to hold it's shape. I make two pillows if I have alot of pain, one for each leg, and put them length wise under each leg at a slight angle. You will have to put a large pillow on ur lower back to be comfortable sitting back, if you are going to sit for awhile. This is very comfortable. Once in awhile u will have to reroll your pillows again, as they get flat the more u sit on them. You will know when...for me about 6 to 8 weeks. I tried everything, and I mean everything else. This works. Ps:I love your videos. I tell everyone I see about the two most famous physical therapists on the internet...in my opinion of course....lol.

I think I cracked my tailbone falling on my rollerskates or rollerblades and it did not show up in the X rays. But I did something to my left gluteous maximus by rollerskate dancing ( for 6 hours which I think a yoga class before would had prevented the Sciatica). The pain in the left gluteous seems to be lessoning, but my tailbone is hurting. Even though I am not skating right now until I can see the orthopedic, i do wear my skate hip/butt pads for everyday, i just started doing this today.

Thanks guys. I wrote to you a while ago about this stuff. You rock for listening and trying to help! Much appreciated! Your videos are often helpful. I’ve been suffering with hyper-mobile + damaged tailbones, and tipped sacrum, for several years with no relief. tried everything. I can’t sit or lie on my back. These things also trigger a whole slew of other connected problems. It’s crazy that most Doctors don’t have knowledge or answers when it comes to the tailbones (plural), or even the sacrum. And most think it’s not a thing - not real. Thank you for acknowledging that this is real. The Tailbone doctor (Dr Patrick Foye) in New Jersey might also be helpful to some people. Although he wasn’t able to help me, he has helped a lot of other folks with coccydynia. However he completely ignored the tipped sacrum. I’ll definitely try your tips for that.

I fell down a set of steep carpeted stairs in 2003 or so. I also fell on the ice in my driveway around 2004-2005. When I drive I constantly have to move & adjust myself bc after sitting for any legth of time it hurts soooo bad. I didn't have insurance at the time so I never got it checked out. I've noticed it has hurt more since I slipped on a tray in the concession stand in 2014 & landed on my left hip (ball & socket direct impact). Again didn't have it checked for same reason. I am hoping that one of these things you all shared will help me. Thank you for the videos you put out!

I use one of those u shaped cushions. Most can be used in anywhere you sit. They do help if you find the right one for you. I got one that was soft memory foam ones. Firm was too hard for me. I also have a thick pillow i put behind me that helps keep my posture upright in a comfortable position where i dont slouch. For me, the pain i feel is mainly a dull ache. Usual when i sit in hard chairs, lean over, reaching, or sit in an unusual way, or lift anything more than 10 pounds that is bottom heavy. Its really an uncomfortable feeling. I think it also affects my nerves in my hands. My fingers twitch. It does go away and I have good days. It's just I never know what will aggravate it.

I have had coccydynia since the birth of my first child 51 years ago. This was confirmed with xrays. I learned how to sit to avoid pressure on my coccyx until earlier this year when I had a laminectomy and fusion/bone grafts. I can no longer sit to avoid pressure on the coccyx other than sitting on a diningroom chair with my weight under my thighs (ie sitting forwards). I have tried a special cushion with no success. My question is, are your suggested exercises recommended for post laminectomy (6 months ago) and if not what other options do I have besides surgery, to be able to sit on a normal chair, as these all have a gentle slope backwards which negates any attempt to sit forwards?

I have recently been having severe pain in this area I do have arthritis and I fell backwards maybe eight months ago and landed on my butt on a case of water I was bringing in groceries & slipped on a plastic bag. Why it waited so long before I get any type of problem I don’t know i’m in physical therapy right now and they are treating me for piriformis they seem like they’ve never heard of this I’m about to let them know and see what they think they won’t give me an MRI until I have completed physical therapy. It hurts to drive do you have any suggestions I saw the pillows but how can you put pillows under your legs when you’re trying to drive? I usually just try to be on one hip or the other but then getting out of the car I almost have to scream it hurts so bad I really have been watching you guys you’re excellent even my PT therapist had heard of you guys when I told them I had locked up piriformis and he knew your names anyways any suggestions are appreciated for the car and try to drive with some comfort that is safe thanks

You can leave and find better health care in 36 other countries. You can go to, for example, to Columbia, South America (they have GREAT health care) and get 22nd. It's stunning to say the least. Though, I really like the study from 2017 where we ranked in 54th place (Macedonia was 55th). Keep doing what you're doing because the health care is strangely poor in America.

What if you're hypermobile and your tailbone sticks in? Actually, it moves back and forth but really hurts when it sticks in. I do go to PT and do both activating and release yoga but can't always get that dratted tailbone to stop hurting me sometimes. Can't ever lie on my back without a coccyx wedge cushion and not while I'm sleeping at all. For reference, I do also have a pelvic floor issue from surgery. Sure would like a solution! Thank you.

I fell onto my tailbone and it took 15 years for Drs to figure out what was causing my pain. The pain would move to different areas. One Dr said he thought it was my hips, another put a lift in one shoe(3 days later was in wheelchair I couldn't walk) took lift out and could walk again. Another Dr said I was heavily overweight, I smoked, my mattress was lumpy(it was brand new) and I was depressed and need a psych eval. (I was depressed in 13 months my dad, grandfather and my mother passed away). My family Dr sent me to one last Dr. He found the problem just looking at my x-rays (that all the other Drs saw. My tailbone was broken. Had to take the last 2digits out cuz they were completely broke off. The third digit had broken but was still attached and healed kinda crooked. He wouldn't take it out uz it was attached to a nerve and said I only had a 50/50 chance of walking. I'm still in pain L4-L5 & S1. Not much they can do. I've got arthritis in back and neuropathy in my right leg.

Wow!! I got cortisone shots in my tailbone two separate times, but I’ve never fallen. I have a Tarlov cyst on my tailbone, and it’s so painful. It felt like there was a rock in my butt crack all the time… very painful! The shots help my pain, but of course it hurts to get them 😢

I fell off of the pull-up bar over a decade ago and I still have tailbone pain. I'm going to try this exercise I really hope this is the one that will help me. I hear physical therapist can go in rectally to do manual physical therapy. I'd rather not have to go that route for obvious reasons I don't think the physical therapist wants to go that route either LOL

I have had the rectal therapy. It was very painful for me, but it worked for awhile. I can remember crying about the pain and thanking the therapist at the same time for what she was doing. My tailbone was veering to the left. Lol. Unfortunately, I moved and now cannot find someone to do it. Also, I was taking more pain meds at that time so I could handle it. Since then the Dr. has reduced the meds. Sooooo.

I have to sit off center because it hurts to set straight. Any ideas since as I gain weight it isn't gaining in that area

I have hairline fractured my tailbone twice. In 2008 & 2014 an all theses years later I’ve developed a bone spur on it. It hurts to sit. I have to try position myself on one cheek to the other and lean. I also have the ball off my foot that has a bone spur on it and the opposite knee buckles and goes out on me with a shooting pain. I spend most of the day laying on my stomach with my hope chest in front of me as if were a table. Which I’m leaning on my elbows and that is starting to really bother my shoulders. Let’s just say I’m a wreck. But you said I wish this was a packers football 🏈 I lol’d 😂. Laughter is the best medicine.

I'm 65 when I was 16 I flopped on a couch, the cushion was off a little, hit the wood and cracked my tailbone. At 17 I has surgery to remove the tip that cracked. Since I got older developed arthritis there. Will this help that? I'll try because my tailbone sticks out like you said. I own many seat cushions with the tailbone opening, it's very painful.

Aw, that’s painful. 🙁 There’s a special way of doing X-rays for the coccyx. Not all doctors know about it. I learned about it on The Tailbone Doctor’s website (Dr Patrick Foye). You could search for it. I told my doctor, then she read it and was able to communicate that to the technician. It’s very specific. Also, Dr Foye developed an X-ray technique that focuses on the tailbones much better.. called a coned down X-ray. But I think he’s the only one that has this machine, and he’s in New Jersey.

The only thing to reduce the pain is by removing the coccyx. I had that pain when I was a teenager. I couldn't do seat ups and crunches because it was painfull. After the surgery I felt great and I could do more sports. I remember spending hours without sitting because of the pain. Going to school and seating on a chair was painfull and I was always watching at the room's clock because I could not stand the pain. The only cure is removing the bone. Mine was 45 degrees turned up.

My coccyx hurts when I lift my leg. Wondering what I could do to fix it. My injury was cause by the seat of a bike. I was cycling when a child ran in front of me. My breaks weren’t going to stop fast enough so I jumped off the bike, feet straddling the bike. My coccyx took the full force of the (boys) bike seat. The pain comes and goes. It’s worse when I cycle or go to the toilet. But lately it hurts me more often than not.

@jazzmoos5382 2 жыл бұрын

😩 ohhh, I feel your pain. The Tailbone Doctor told me years ago to never ride bikes or go horseback riding or anything similar because it will only make it worse. The coccyx is so vulnerable. Give it time. Maybe with any luck it’s just bruised. Meanwhile you could try a TENS unit (the cheap ones from WM are good). I find heat soothing sometimes. Good luck, and hang in there.
