Ack! Tumor scare today.

So I've been having this weird pain in my tailbone for about 3 weeks now. Your spine curves in at the very end (like beneath crack) and that's where it's been bothering me. The other night I found a lump on my lower back and I freaked out. I thought it could be my tailbone as it was hard and I'm terribly skinny with no meat. We got it checked out anyway.

No tumor, just bone. No rhyme or reason for the pain, just ice it and take anti-inflamitories. If it doesn't go away in 2 weeks, more tests. Hopefully it'll go away, but I don't think it will if it's already been around this long.

I am glad and relieved that it is no tumor. It might be that you just don't have any meat on your butt and sitting may make that area just ache.

Just wondering...
Do you spend a lot of time like laying down with your knees bent and most of your pressure on your lower back?

I sat like that a lot late at night in the summer and I got a lot of pains in my tail bone. Like it was uncomfortable to walk.
Heh.

But I hope you feel better!

Thank god it was nothing serious!

 

[CrazySteph]

oh my gosh sonya!! I'm happy it wasn't anything serious!!!!

 

[imabrat]

Hilary, not really. They thought it would be from laying down, but it doesn't really make sense. I'd been stuck in bed from October to August, and this pain is only starting up now. I'm a lot more active now, so we're thinking it might be the way I learned to walk again.
