Broken Ass?

---

So I think I broke my ass. You know, the tailbone. I finally went to the doctor and she said there is really nothing that can be done. She gave me some pain pills and told me to sit on a bag of ice....to numb it I suppose. She seems to think it should be better in about two weeks. It's been three weeks now and it still really hurts. I talked to a few nurses around here and they say it takes months not two weeks to feel better. I was just wondering if anyone here has ever injured themselves this way and how long did it take to feel better?

Julie did it years back, sat on a inflatable donut or stood all day, she said it hurt for 2 or 3 months,,better hold off on any doggy style sex for a bit.

I asked about a donut and she said it wouldn't help....did it help Julie? Driving is the worst! And I don't have to worry about sex because...you know, we hate each other. Now if Mr. U ever comes to Cleveland.....

the donut is the only way she could stand to drive, and it helped but was still miserable! she also stood at her desk for 8 hours a day to avoid sitting even with a donut. the donut in a recliner, drunk, is how she got through life at home. She was lucky to have a 20 minute commute is all, said she couldnt imagine having to drive further in that condition.

Thank you Chance.

i fractured my tailbone during skating. as chance said it does normally take a few months, 2-3 sounds correct for a broken bone,my fracture took about a month and a half to heal. what i did with sitting, i got one of those neck pillows, there very soft and fluffy. i found mine at the mall.or u can get a thermapuedic pillow and sit on that.hope it helps

I've broken mine a couple times. I never really bothered going to the doctor seeing as its really common and they can't really do anything. I just waited it out and took ibuprofen when I needed it. I felt pain for almost 6 months, though the last 3 weren't that bad. But I also broke it twice in the span of a month...

Thank you GPMY. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how soft the pillow or chair is, it still hurts. It's the pressure that is killing me.

You never got an X-ray? Maybe you really didn't break it?? My doctor gave me Naproxen (which is like a strong Aleve) which really helps alot actually. It takes the edge off, but if I bump it or sit on it, it hurts bad. I have tattoos, body piercings and I would rather get a tattoo on face then sit on my ass another day. lol

I've never had a broke ass and have no idea if this would work (this is just the designer in me) but if you took a pillow or folded towels and placed them so that the only contact you have with them is from front part of you butt and thighs and legs, might that help? Place 'em so the back half of your ass is hanging off 'em into mid air. Your tail bone isn't coming in contact with anything that way.

Like I said, I don't know I'm just guessing.

If you were closer I would kiss your owwy and make it better. :wink:

On an unrelated note I read your sig and thought is said "I tried to be good, but then I got boned." I was gonna make a wise as comment about that and hurting your tail bone. I'll learn to read one of these days.

Idk lol things were like clicking...and the first fall especially was really bad. My friend picked me up and then he fell, so I fell a pretty decent distance onto a tile floor, directly on my tailbone. It's a possibility that I didn't but there was alot of pain and bruising.I just kept on with cheerleading for the rest of the season cause I didn't want to sit the last season of my senior year out because of an injury, and I had already missed the last few weeks of the season before because of another injury.

i believe there called plush pillows... and whenever i did sit down, i sat at an angle, and moreso on my thigh than butt... u can try that, it helps...

Just curious, but how the hell do you break that bone? Falling flat on your ass?

Basically.Well for me, my body was in a V sort of shape when I fell, so my lower back/top of my ass hit the floor first.

for me i was skating, and then i jumped from one hand rail to another and when i landed on the other, there was a grind stopper i had not seen before, i was doing a soul grind, left foot was soul, front foot was the T, my front foot hit the stopper, slipped to my left, my back foot slipped to my right, and i did a sorta 180, instead of landing on my nuts, i landed on my butt...

Scotty, I love you! I am sitting on my rolled up workout mat (on my chair) so the back part of my butt is just kinda hanging there. It works great! I look pretty silly, but it feels alot better!Oh, and I broke mine while, of all things, exercising. Stretching actually. My ass wasn't very far from the ground, but I was in a V shape like Leelee. My doc said I must have just hit it at the right angle. She said most people break it from a fall like slipping on the ice.

Dont thank me, thank Julie, she is the one that broke her ass. Its one of the few bones Iv never broken, legs (no femurs yet thank god!) ankles, toes fingers, arms, skull, wrist,ribs and more ribs, jaw...never ym ass bone! so far Knocks on wood I so much as see someone fall on their ass it makes mine hurt!Im gonna go find a nut bra though, I sat on my nuts 3 days ago and the fuckers are still tender!I got out of the shower, slipped on the floor and sat on the fuckers on the toilet seat next to the shower!My ass is fine, but my sack is hurting!IF it was my dick, Id soak it in cider
