Tailbone and Coccyx painOK, I have a quiz for you: What is there in common between: the beautiful neighbour that uses her bicycle every day, the computer nerd that sits in front of the computer for 15 hours per day, and the gym enthusiast that does 300 sit ups every day?
[ OK,OK. So you have a hint because you have already read the title. So what? Can't we do bit of a drama here? ]
It is a..... It is a...... tailbone pain! [ Drummmmm music ] Yes, my beloved reader! It is the very lovely pain, you feel right at the tip of your tail bone, that brings us together here. For those that just joined in, we were talking about lower-back, more-low-than-you-think pains. Reasons For That Pain - And Were The Hell is it. At the very end of your spine there is a bone called the coccyx, it is also known as the tail bone. It is what Mother Evolution let us from the times we all had tails and we were running naked and happy in some forest. Some people still run naked, but they do it only in football stadiums and only during important football matches. That's another story though.
A tail bone pain is the only case in medical history, where you have patients running straight to the library right after they have visited their doctor, in order to find out how on bloody earth do you spell the word coccyx. The reasons for the pain are many and various. When they all gather together in a medicine symposium, they easily pack the amphitheater and they make a hell of a noise. The common reasons are: (And we will *only* list the most commons: If you feel neglected call our special line.)
Well the list is long. The reader might want to have a look at the end of this article for more details. The result of all the above is that, at some point, a cyst is formed at that area. And this can be *very* painful. [ Drama here: A group of mothers shed a tear. A young child cried. Somewhere in the night, a dog barked: This was, clearly, a very touching moment. ] If it really becomes acute you should visit your doctor, he will judge if an operation is needed. After the operation you will need at least a few days up to a month to be able to sit again properly. Your resulting walking style can be fun for others to watch. There will be no horse riding that month. Prevention This catastrophe does not come, always, out of the blue: The pain usually progresses from a slight disturbance to a full blown Oh-I-Want-My-Mommy type of pain. The best prevention is to find a way to stop pressing that point as you do your everyday activities. Now after years of dealing with that type of pains we found out a very simple method to prevent the above catastrophe. We did it for you, my fellow reader, and we checked it out with other people, to make sure it works. Books.
Yes my friends. Books. You have to find and sit on two books that will prevent your tail bone from touching the chair. You should position them in a way that they leave a small gap between them. Your coccyx should be over that gap and that will prevent him from touching the chair. If you want to do sit ups, you might try using some pillows that will do the above. The above method helped me avoid the tail bone pain from becoming too serious and that is impressive if you consider that all my 29 brothers had already an operation of that kind. For those of you that prefer horses and bicycles to move around, why don't you use the metro for a change?
The above idea works very well and doesn't cost anything. I talked to a friend of my that insisted that it is much better to buy one of those coccyx cushions. I managed to convince him not to buy one that day. He is still very satisfied with his decision.
There is only one thing that we haven't figured out yet. How on earth will you explain this? People will find you sitting on two vocabulary books and they will want to learn the reason. You will have to convince them that the reason is indeed a tail bone pain and not some crazy sex night where things went badly wrong. [ Applause. Curtain. Lights back on. ] Tailbone and Coccyx pain
