Anyone ever experience coccyx bone pain? ( bone between the cheeks of but)? When i sit I get a discomfort on the bone. I've had this before but its been a while. If you ve experience this do you have any idea what could cause this? I haven't had a period since Nov. and the last one was 11/23 don't know if its relevant to what im feeling.

    I had that when I first started perimenopause and it lasted for a while. I think it's hormones and inflamation. It went away eventually, but it was so horrible. I am sorry you have this! Your not alone.

    I get this in the middle of the night sometimes, its horrid and i have to get up and walk around for a while and eventually it subsides... it doesn't happen too often but it is odd and quite painful.

    Yes mam... I get this periodically and it seems to flare up before my period starts. I have to use a heating pad while at work. Ibuprofen and Flexeril works wonders too...

    Hopefully you'll get some relief soon...

    Hi Mary, yes I had this it lasted for well over a year maybe even closer to 2 years, it all started right about the time my symptoms 1st started, and I did have a lot of inflammation in my body at the time, I was in peri hormones were screwy as they still are, was getting diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and hashimotos so a lot of inflammation going on at that time.. I also tripped over my dog in the middle of the night and landed right on my tail bone without even arms out to break my fall.. So I may have even cracked tail bone then.. All I know is it hurt for a long long time.. And eventually they pain just left me.. It g o t to the point I would use a doughnut pillow to sit on, and would roll over onto my side before sitting up, and sit up that way..

      Hi Gypsy how have you been? its been awhile since ive been on here. i was checking to see if ive had coccyx pain before. And Bingo yes i have posted before about it. Im 2 years post and my symptons greatly improved until the past few months i got a post bleed back in August. Afterward, a couple weeks later my symptoms returned. i had to do ultrasound and will be scheduling hysterectomy. Its like a nightmare again..

    I had that in the first couple years of peri, it was extremely painful. My doc said it was musculoskeletal. After that passed, I seem to get flairs of deep/burning pain of costochondroitis (upper rib and sternum area). Heat relieves the pain...bath, heating pad, jacuzzi, etc. It will pass!

    Oh my, so thankful you brought this topic up. 2 days ago i has the worst pain in the coccyx e bone. I cried all day. I thought to myself "now what" as if i need more pain. I didn't know if it was from hormones or a sudden movement that brought it on. Today i feel like the pain subsided a lot. So much madness that hormonal changes can bring on. Why in the hell aren't women informed. Praying for all.

    Hi, yes I remember it well when I had it quite a few years ago so maybe it was the start of my peri to. I remember I was in agony for over a week and then it just disappeared, I get it nowadays slightly but its my lower back atm thats causing me trouble. Just wish all this would end ☹️

    I have had this too. Mine comes and goes. I chalked it up to weakening muscles, glad to hear it is just another peri moment.
