Any of youse ever break your coccyx?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

and does it feel like your whole body is coming unglued when it happened?

[Reverend_Smitty]

1. I bruised mine when I was about 13

I couldn't go to school for about 3 days...hell all I could do was lay on my stomach and moan. I couldn't even imagine how horrible it must be to break it

[Connonym]

2. injured it -- doc wouldn't xray because he said it wouldn't make a difference in treatment

hurt for months

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. I find that rum helps

a bit

[TK421]

3. If I ever broke that, I would be in trouble big-time

and in more ways than one

[Mz Pip]

4. Yeah,

someone pulled a metal chair out from under me when I was about 12. Decades later it still gives me grief when I sit for long periods, like in movies or airplanes.

It think it can be removed if it really becomes a problem.

[Connonym]

9. people can be such asses can't they?

I injured mine when my ex scooped me up in his arms and when I objected he unceremoniously dropped me on my ass. It's been about 12 years now and I still have to put a folded up towel under me when I sit in the bathtub or else it's excruciating.

6. I have a small non-displaced fracture

and it hurts like hell

apparently everything in the body except your arms connect to this fucker somehow

coughing is quite an experience

laying down is okay, until you try to get up

sitting is a nightmare

[Chan790]

8. Did they give you a pillow?

If not, you can sit on a bedpillow and that should help. Stand-up from time to time...if you sit for long periods you're going to hurt.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. yeah, the donut made it worse

i dont think it was made to fit american middle-aged asses

a regular bed pillow under my thighs which suspends the coccyx off the chair helps

oddly enough, the hard dining room chairs are more better than the office chair

[Orrex]

7. Good grief!

I was going to make a Lounge-required joke, but then I read all of the responses. That sounds horrible!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Yep, I have.

Hurt like a mofo. x(

[Inchworm]

11. keyword: when

it grows back :P

:*

[MorningGlow]

13. Oh yeah, in the middle of giving birth

Went off like a gunshot. Of course, even though I didn't have meds, I was a little preoccupied at the time, so I didn't notice the pain. Sure did afterward, though. It was fun hobbling around with a cracked ass while trying to care for a newborn. Whee. The donut was my friend, but not inflated all the way--that made it hurt worse. Good times...good times...

16. I was going to tell the same story

I broke mine, when I was about 13, on some cement stairs. It was awful. I had to get out of bed just to turn over. Then just like you I heard this loud pop when I was in the pushing stages of labor. I didn't feel it so much right then. Between the stitches, the hemorrhoids and the broken tailbone, I was one donut sitting mama, for a long time. I was soon distracted by the excruciating sensation of toughing to withstand breastfeeding.

17. Motherhood is so beautiful, isn't it?

:rofl:

The best part was when I was home with the baby, lying on our old caved-in couch with him to breastfeed or resting while he napped in his portable infant car carrier (his preferred place to nap, probably because it was so snug), and then I had to get up. I must have looked like an old woman, trying to get up. One...two...three...HEAVE. Yeah, real attractive!

[MrsBrady]

14. when i was 11...

it hurt like hell.

i felt a shot go up my spin...and then nothing felt bad, but a few hours later, i couldn't even sit down.

try having a donut pillow in junior high...really makes for "cool"

used that dang pillow on long car trips after that for maybe 10 years.

[Redstone]

15. Yes, and it hurts WAY out of proportion and WAY longer than it should.

Just like damaged rib cartilage does.

I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but it's not going to be ANY fun. For a long time.

18. When I was nine, I fell off the swingset at school, landed butt-first on

the concrete, and there ya go.

Hurt like Hell!

[Z_I_Peevey]

19. Yes, while carrying a rocking chair down some stairs, I lost

my footing and my butt went bump, bump, bump down each step to the landing. And after that, I had to drive a U-Haul truck straight through from the Rio Grande Valley to Oklahoma. I got out of the truck, crawled to the house, laid on the floor for a week.

That was about 25 years ago, and I still feel the effects. Getting old is such an adventure.

20. A friend of mine did when she was 14

At age 48 it still bothers her occasionally. Sorry....x(
