Reply to: Craked my coccyx

This is no laughing matter.
I was buggered by a gorilla once and the pain is still with me. He didnt write, he didnt call...

all men are b@stards

Biologically speaking, but a gorilla isn't a man.

Years.

I did mine while skiing over two years ago. I still experience mild pain. The agony does go away after a while. I took medical dose (800mg) ibuprofen three times a day, washed down with schnapps. Fortunately, I could still use the t-bar drag lifts, so I could continue skiing. Needed a cushion at work for about 3 months.

I have discovered how uncomfortable the seats are in this place today, I also cannot lean back in my usual "I don't give a toss i'm a contracting programmer" manner. The 20 minute walk was also an experience. Still, you can't keep me from a daily rate.

I have cracked it before and the pain lasts for months.

He did have his 'cigar' in hand.

(to rhyme with sausages presumably?)

Really? Well, who says you never learn anything on CUK?

[OwlHoot]

So. Take good care of your coccyxs boys and girls, otherwise painful misery awaits you.

Lot of it about it seems.

The cause of my lower back pain is apprently related to a fracture of the coccyx that must have happened several years ago - even though I was not aware of it at the time (fallen on my arse whilst walking and skiing too many times to notice).

Apparently the bones have knitted in such a way that it's putting pressure on a nerve so that it feels rather like 'toothache of the arse'.

My only resort is surgery (not guaranteed successful) and I will probably need to wait at least 10 months.

Agony.

Out in the garden last night, glass of wine in one hand, cigar in the other looking up at the stars, stumbled backwards and fell onto the rockery. Arse landed on a chunk of sandstone. It felt like I had just been buggered by a gorilla.

Taken about 3 different types of pain killer today and nothing helps.

How ironic, pain in the arse gets pain in the arse

Sory to hear that. Mrs BP cracked hers last year. Agony for about 6 weeks. Get well soon.

A coccyx is just a relic of a tail we don't need anyway. If it's cracked, take the opportunity to twist it off altogether and then you won't have the problem again.

But then he might grow one, like a lizard could.

How brilliant would it be to have a prehensile tail?

I got 2 asprin, 2 cocodamol, another diclofenac and told to flip off. Fat lot of good she was. Bit better today but there may be a painfull event coming up shortly, I did plan ahead and added 1/3 of a bottle of tabasco to my dinner last night.

Without wishing to be too literal, try adding lots of fluids to your diet. These'll help by making sure that when you are ready to download you're not having to push or strain.
