Saddle/ coccydynia

[teamceri]

Hi all

You have been all great with your help and advice pointing me in the direction with links and really big thank you.

I have read and read and read more. I have decided to get a Selle SMP TRK saddle, I hope I am going in the right direction with that. My LBS was not able to sorce it for me so I ordered it online which they suggested. They then told me when it arrives and I a allowed back on the bike to bring myself the saddle and my bike and they will do a bike fit for me for FREE!! They havent got loads of tec gear for measuring but I have nothing to loose at least they are going to have a go for me. I thought that was just great of them even though I am not sure about their knowledge of girlie bits but if they can learn from me they might be able to help another damsel in distress. If the saddle is suitable I will get it for my other two bikes as well if not will look again at another one. I have decided once I am fit to cycle again I am going to take it easy and pretend I am just starting out on my first bike.
Will keep you all updated.

Sorry to hear you are having so much pain. I have a lot of problems with my coccyx as well. Now I ride with a Specialized Dolce saddle. It has a nice cut out, so there is no pressure on my coccyx at all. Otherwise, I would not be able to ride.

Follow your Dr's advice, and allow yourself to heal from this. Don't be tempted to get out and ride until its better. This kind of pain is known to be hard to cure, especially once its well 'set in' and extremely difficult to find the cause and treat it. There are a lot of variables in place. I note that you are in the UK, if you are near London there is a great specialist that I can refer to you if you are interested.

Rest up and feel better!
