tailbone pain

[stacie]

coccyx pain can be very serious. I would stop spinning until you are pain free. I haven't seen alot of these problems from cycling other than after crashes. Do you remember injuring your tailbone in the past? If after you are completely pain free, you have a desire to try again, find someone who can set you up properly and help you with proper technique. You would have to be sitting in a really odd position to be putting pressure on your tailbone. You could have caused some damage if you were trying to climb with way too much resistance. Again, it is more likely that this came from another injury. Some women have complained of this after child birth. Damage can occur to the surrounding tissue. If pain continues, please see a doctor. I have a client who cannot sit for very long at all. He was experiencing pain and wanted to continue to work out because he was losing weight. He has now gained quite a bit of weight because he cannot do much activity at all. I don't want to be an alarmist, but I wouldn't take this lightly.

Take my word for it, depending on the spin bike, some of the saddles are made just WRONG (and are put on the bike at a poor angle) where even rolled forward onto your sit bones, your tailbone still gets a bit of a beating from a wierd high hump at the back of the saddle.

It's definitely not a good place to be getting bruised, but it's not necessarily her fault.

Hi, I would look into a gel seat and bike shorts.
Another poster mentioned this, did you get an injury at some time to your tail bone? The saddle might be aggrevating it and making it act up again.
