Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 The two best things to help tailbone pain is to get OFF your ass. Your sitting around too much.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 LOL, even when I stay OFF my ass it aches! Me sit? HAHAHA, everyone naqs that I never sit still! I spend more time on my hands and knees than sitting! And o feel like I am always walking, shopping, and chasing these 9 dogs and 3 kids! Hmmm....stairs could be fun though.....darn, don't have any! OK, need a new house.....wonder if I can talk Ray into it? LOL, he will probably hand me a box and tell me " step on, step off " Actually walking is a real pain sometimes too, with the scoliosis I have one side higher than the other and it seems to throw one hip out of alignment and THAT hurts! Pain all the way down my right leg and buttcheek, OUCH! Sure throws a wrench in my shopping since those hard floors at the mall make it worse! One trip to Walmart and it takes 2 days to get my lower back and hip back to normal! So far though, stretching does seem to help the most, but stairs, that sounds interesting, fun, and doable, but where the heck am I gonna find stairs though?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Cindee..sitting in a wheel chair.... most of the time as I do ..I got a thick gel pad that helps a great deal....expensive as all get out.... but it is worth it for me...don't leave them in the sun however ...they leak...Now I have had mine 8 years and I got it in Seattle at a store that sold things for wheel chairs and stuff ...You might check it out ....Also check with a gentle Chiropractor...they might be able to get your back in place so it doesn't hurt so much...I go to the ones that use the thumper rather than crack'en your back...Had enough cracks in my back thank you...Hope some of this might help..I know it's the pits...I know that it doesn't help but pat pat any way...and soft hugs...Lilyen PS. Thanks for all the advice on the TT etc.Mel ,Pat and Marta...I have to go get the approval from my PCP in Seattle in two weeks and I may just take it in hand........the insurance approval that is..... and go to Dr.K...Love Lilyen Re: tailbone pain > LOL, even when I stay OFF my ass it aches!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Jo, we ALL know that mouth of yours and we also know that anything that you say you say with love and because you care, so don't worry about anyone taking it wrong! But yes, I HAVE tried walking and moving more but for some reason the last few weeks it is REALLY getting more painful and I am not doing anything different or anything to make it worse, in fact I have only been out dancing once in the last month.... CRAP...that's it!! Instead of dancing non-stop for 5 hours once a week, I have slacked off because it made my feet and hips hurt! Maybe thats what it is, my body was so used to all that exercice and now it is lacking! OK, shal I dance and put up with the aching hips and feet, or not dance and have an aching tailbone? Hmm, tossing a coin and getting back on my hands and knees and letting Ray massage my tailbone with this wonderful massager for a while, SEE, I am off my ass!!! HAHAHA!!! And you can be as harsh as you like, we need it and we love ya anyway!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Gotta love them Kegels! Squeeze them muscles! I have done those for years (LOL, just ask Ray!)! But squeezing the butt muscles only? Hmm, thats a really good thought! Hmm....I can see me in line squeezing my butt cheeks together though....LOL, everyone would think I either had to go REALLY bad or was doing something VERY strange in my drawers!! Hey, if I did it just right it would look like the chicken dance! OK, this is one I will save for at home only, but I like the idea, and actually think it could help! Hmm, I can even do that on my hand and knees! Or washing dishes......and vacuuming! OK, if the kids laugh at me I am gonna tell Mama Jo to dump poop on their heads!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Most carbs constipate me terribly!! But one good deep fried burrito and I can clear the house! Hmm....I DID have a deep fried Chimichanga and mojo's a while ago, maybe the threat of the dreaded gas will get my kids off their butts! LOL, all I have to do is stand in their doorway and smile and not say a word and they all run! My daughter put a sticker on my door a while back that says " NATURAL GAS " and it is still there....LOL, if I want the kids out of my room (they like to hang out in here with us and watch TV) I just let loose, she gags and I have my room empty! I love it!!!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Mel, I have 3 fused vertabrae in my neck and I am always terrified that the chiropractor will unfuse them and break it! But so far he has been very gentle and easy with it. When it comes to my lower back and hips that man has the hands of an angel! He starts with deep heat (moist) for 20 minutes, then about the time I fall asleep he comes in and does a 10 minute deep tissue massage by hand and then uses the electric massager on my whole back for another 5 minutes or so, THEN he finally adjusts my back and hips and it feels so darn good I just wanna melt! But to keep it feeling good I need at least 2-3 visits a week and even at just $35 a visit it's too darn much for me! So poor Ray is stuck with the massage duties! But he has the help of an awesome massager that fits on the back of his hand and vibrates so deep that it eases the pain in minutes (and he never complains, even if I need three in a day, or if I wake him up at 3am because I hurt, he really does spoil me terribly, or is that love?) I found an awesome new toy that I want (need?) It is the same massager that my chiropractor has, it looks like a 2 handed car buffer - they are expensive, but the one I borrowed at a friends was so awesome I think it would be well worth it! OK, fruit first, massage second, see what you guys have started? I am sooooo easy and always open to the power of suggestion!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 OH Wise Ones! I am so lucky to have you all to tell me to get off my ass and work it, baby, work it! LOL, OK, OK, I gotcha! Hmm, feel the burn? I can handle that, I don't have a diving board, but I could step in and out of the spa, or step up down the steps in it for a while, I could stay cool, the water would help prevent the hip and lower back pain I get from walking on hard surfaces, plus it would give me the stepping exercise I need! OK, I can do this!
