    Coccyx Pain After Surgery :(

    I had this as well. It's was like a big painful lump in my bottom every time I sat down (esp on soft furnishings) I even had to get my husband to feel it to reassure me it was my coccyx and not somthing untoward!! It took a couple of months to 'toughen' it up but I don't feel it at all now!
