I have a large tailbone, have any info?

[Linsey]

I wasn't really sure which topic area this would be under... I have a oversized tailbone that sticks out. I'm 18 now and I've had this problem my life.. it bothers me a lot. It doesn't hurt or anything but it is very irritating. I tried to look this up on the internet but couldn't find anyone with the same problem. It seems like I'm the only one that has it. Can someone give me some information about it or tell me if there's anything I can do about it? It's very noticable and I always have to wear a long shirt or a long hoodie to cover it up. Your help would be appreciated :) Thanx

I was just watching embarrassing bodies and thought I'd search for my 'condition' again, I completely forgot I'd found this forum and had left a message on here, 4 years ago now. There has been various comments since I left mine and I'm still shocked at how many of you suffer from the same thing yet there is hardly any information surrounding it.

I just wanted to say although it still bothers me from time to time I've learnt to live with it. I have found that only I really notice it! As for being intimate I've been with my boyfriend for over 3 years now and although I've never properly showed him he is very supportive about it and he always tells me how much he loves my bum, which gives me great confidence!! My advise will be to not let it get you down, yes from time to time you'll probably think about it but only you will really care. If your worried about getting intimate then please don't be, men can be very kind and caring when it comes to sensitive issues like these and if you've found the right guy they should support you through it!!

I hope most of you who have posted on this forum have gone on to live happy confident lives, don't let it bring you down guys!! :)

I'm 41-years-old and have had a protruding tailbone as long as I can remember.  I hear everyone talk about how it bothers them, I've certainly had my share.  I've never gone to an orthopedic about it, however, I've been to chiropractors, and also tried neuromuscular therapy, which helps a little.  Going to such practices can be costly, which is the bind that I'm in now.  I'm hoping that I can find some practical exercises that could help.  Has anyone come up with some new resources?

i am a 51 year old female, heavier than i used to be...my fat has somewhat obscured the two bony lumps that are right over my but crack,,i can bend over now without them showing through my clothes.  i can still see them and feel them but not as much as when i was skinny...i have always been self conscious about my bony lumps and my ex husband literally tormented me about my bony lumps. this forum is the first time i have ever heard of anyone having the same problem.  i intend to stay a little overweight because of the extra padding around my bony lumps . it makes them not noticeable in my clothes. I have been teased about them in the past, and i was humiliated. i was never comfortable being intimate except with one partner that i spent 5 years with. he passed away last year and i will always miss him......i have never come to terms with this deformity

I'm in my late 50s, I've had the 2 knobs sticking out above my butt crack as long as I can remember.  I just figured it was from falling out of a tree, or falling off my bike, or falling down the stairs... I was an active kid.  I've never noticed it much, except when doing situps on a hard surface.  So I put a pad under my tail then, otherwise I'll rub the skin off.  I did hundreds of situps a night as a teenager, I never let this slow me down.  I never felt self-conscious about it.  Recently a new partner was giving me a massage and asked me if I knew I had a big cyst above my butt, and I had no idea what she was talking about.  I had her take pictures of it to show me, and I laughed when I saw it.  I just told her, "That's part of my spine, it sticks out."  Nothing to be self-conscious about for me.  That's how I'm built, as much as the scars from my active life and everything else.  I sure as heck wouldn't worry about what somebody thinks about it, if they do then that's their problem.  If I was the vain type I might do a tattoo to highlight it in some way, but I just continue to ignore it as I always have.

have the same problem a large knot the seems larger over the past four years and bends like a perfect L into my body. It took four hours of pushing to deliver my first child and his skull was nearly crushed. My dad used to kick me with steel toed cowboy boots there and hit me with boards but the bone is so thick it broke them in half. Maybe god prepared some people for a fall he looked forward and seen in our lifee.
