11 days postpartum…

I have horrible coccyx pain???
Sitting down hurts so bad, it radiates down to my bum??

Has anyone else had this ?

I had this too… no idea why! I’m 3 weeks pp now and I’d say it’s been gone a week. Try if you can to tilt your pelvis forwards so you’re not slouched back/sat on your coccyx. Hope it clears up soon for you!

I had this too. I’ve heard it can be related to over toned pelvic floor, exacerbated by lots of leaning back sitting putting more pressure on sacrum and coccyx. Mine has almost resolved by 4 weeks. Take ibuprofen and paracetamol and try sitting forward rather than leaning back if breast feeding. You can also self refer to pelvic health in most places

I’ve got this but had it during pregnancy too.

I think now it’s because I’m trying to take the pressure off further forward so I’m not sat on my stitches so then I’m sat on my coccyx xo
