Hi Karina, My sister bent her tailbone during labour and delivery 8 years ago with her second child and still to this day she can't sit for long periods of time. She went to the doc and to physio but all to no avail. I carried and laboured all of my babies posterior but it wasn't til I had bub number 5 that I had any trouble with my tailbone. It now pertrudes out and to the right slightly Dr told me that when everything softened it bent but didn't go back into the right position and will be permanent and I will just have to learn to live with it and in time it may lessen, or have another baby and see if it corrects, not likely. It kills somedays, particularly when I am sitting at the computer for hours doing my assignments, I use my arms to push up off the chair the pain is so severe at times. I hope yourse can be corrected,I feel your pain babe.
Karina I have the same problem with my tailbone clicking too!! It's comforting to know that so many women have sore butts! My tailbone is agony as well - feels like the bone is bruised or something. My little Bella is nearly 3 weeks old and it's agony to sit down or stand up.
My OB suggested physio. I went 2 days ago to find out I have pulled mostly all the ligaments in my butt. I didn't even know I had ligaments there!!
I had an epidural and spent about 6 hours in a sitting-up position when I gave birth nearly 3 weeks ago - then had 1 1/2 hours of pushing time. Not very traumatic in comparison but I guess enough to cause trauma to my body.
I've been told it can take months before the tailbone pain heals. Does anyone know exactly what causes it? Is it from sitting stationary for so long or from the pushing?? I'd be interested to know.
