Tailbone injury?? WTF?

[from zero]

My tailbone has been hurting for the past, ohh ... I'd say 4 days, at least. Problem is: I have no idea what the hell I did. It's not something I need to see a doctor about. More of a constant nuisance. Getting into my car, accidentally sitting quickly at the wrong angle, that kind of thing, just sends a very uncomfortable pain through it.

Any ideas as to how I can help it recover ... ?

By the by, I'm posting this here because it may be training related. But I seriously can't think of anything I had done recently to have brought it on.

I got a painful cyst (sp) on my tailbone from sitting on my ass playing nintendo too much.

i have broken my tailbone on 2 occasions.......... nothing you can do. no cast or anything. just avoid sitting on it as much as possible. lay down on your sides, and tummy.

I highly doubt it's broken, but I figured I'd just have to let it heal on its own.

Fuckin weird though. I have no idea what I did. I didn't fall or anything ...

Is it on a specific side? Is the pain sharp?

Sounds like a pull.

I think i used to have the same problem when i first started doing deadlifts. It hurt especially when i was driving. It ended up just being a pull in my lower back and went away after awhile.

Squats did it to me. I noticed my tailbone hurting during/after squats and at random times of the day... that was right before I hurt my back squatting. I'm thinking I should've taken it as a warning that something was wrong. I went to the chiropractor, which seemed to help and I've been stretching my back out more. Maybe you should take it easy for awhile.

Keep us posted.
