Tailbone/coccyx pain from hemmorhoids?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have been seeing doctors to investigate sciatic pain that shifts from buttocks to legs/hips. I've noticed that when I'm lying flat on the floor to do the stretches PT gave me, my tailbone is sore. I didn't give it much thought, assumed I needed to stretch in a better carpeted area rather than my yoga mat on a wood floor. Still though its uncomfortable in the tailbone area and I've noticed in the last week that it also is sore when I sit in a chair. I have been driving a lot recently and we just bought new sofas that are harder than I thought they'd be! Before I mention this to the orthopedist who's helping me with the sciatic issues, I wonder if this could be connected to hemmorhoids that are also becoming a nuisance. I've never sought treatment, but maybe its time. Has anyone else had tailbone pain from hemmorhoids?

Yes, coccyx (tail bone) pain has affected me. I have Gr. 4 internal/external hems, too, and it is difficult to distinguish hems discomfort affecting the spine/nerve/anal canal, or vice versa. Have you tried to use a cushion for sitting? A sitting posture that I find helpful is to bend my knees and draw them behind the chair. Sometimes, just shifting the muscles around the buttocks/tail bone helps to minimize the discomfort. I do understand!
