Don't get wrong, I am loving my weight loss, but for goodness sake, my rear end aches after 8 hours at a desk!! I have a little travel pillow I sit on, but that just isn't covering it anymore. I am going to have to bring in a bigger thicker pillow and take grief from the officers for it. Lol. Who would have thought so much pain could come from such a good thing. What is funny is the last time I was at this weight I had a horse flip over with me, and I broke my tail bone, and it was not a painful as it is now. At least then I could find relief in cushy chairs.

Anyone have any wonder cures? I work for the govt, so a softer chair is not in the budget. ( hmmm I wonder how workmans comp would look ar a sore arse? Lol )

I have been such a whiner this month!!

I had the same issue but it seems to get better as time goes on!

What about a physio ball? You get a cushy seat and an ab work out at the same time? :) :) I use to use mine at my PC all the time... till the cat popped it! LOL!

Oh Yeah this is one of the things that still bothers me every now and again. The best thing I found was to work those muscles. Do some Glut exercises. Now that some of yoru padding is gone you need to build up some new padding.

I drive for a living. hospice nurse. I get this to every day. I have tried cushions and have not fond one I like yet if you find one please keep me posted. and I never thought I would complain about being skinny lol

My tailbone hurts all the time now, it doesn't matter how soft the seat is that I am sitting on. The only advice I have would be to stand up more often and not put so much pressure on it for long periods of time. It might be harder on your back though if you need to still bend down and type... hmmm? I wish I had more answers, I'm working on squats to build up my butt, it might help to get me off my bones and sitting on some muscle.

I ordered a kabooti, should have it tomorrow and will test it out tomorrow. I can stand for periods between calls, but when heck breaks loose, and it does, I am hovering over my keyboard, working 3 different screens and a radio, 5 direct phone lines, 4, 911 lines and a tdd line, plus a beacon system for emergency help on campus with over 80 live beacons that can be triggered at anytime. At any one time I can have up to 9 officers calling out on the radio, plus the maintanence staff on radio, as well as out EMS service on campus. All while monitoring the city radio traffic for any problems close to or relating to campus. So standing and attempting to keep up doesn't happen. Lol. I have to figure relief or deal with pain.

And anyone who is thinking it is overwhelming, it is actually quite stimulating and mostly exciting, but ir you don't multitask well, it wont be the job for you. :)

I will be 9 months post op tomorrow. My rear stays sore. My tail bone feels like it tries to poke through!
I have been working out at the gym working on the glutes too. So far still hurts. I gues I should try sitting less.

The Kabooti seems to do the trick. I still have 4 hrs on this shift so we will see how it holds for 8 hr. :)

i NEVER thought i would say this...

I MISS my bubble butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goldenrivers 09/07/2013

Lol only for that few hours of a shift. The rest of the time it is just fine wherever it has gone to.

Golden,
I am starting to have this issue! Can you give an update on the success of your Kabooti?
Thanks!

goldenrivers 09/19/2013

The Kabooti really helps.

phoenixup 09/19/2013

Golden, I also am a 911 dispatcher for a small county and have been watching the replies on this subject. I will definitely keep the Kabooti in mind. Thanks.

My tailbone hurts too, and I find if I drive for a long time, my colllarbone hurts from the seat belt! I won't complain (much) but I'll take the pains over the weight!!

9 months=85 pounds!
