Tailbone Pain

Hey mamas! Who here experiences or did experience tailbone pain? How would you describe it? What did you do to overcome it? Curious to see how many other people have dealt with this and I just don't want to feel like I'm the only one.

I DO NOT want to sit on a donut pillow for the rest of my life! I'm only 25 and want A LOT more babies but I also want to be healthy, strong, and confident in my body's capabilities BEFORE I get pregnant again.

If you care, my story and experience:

At 6 months postpartum I was experiencing tailbone pain. My OBGYN referred me to a physical therapist who I saw three times a week for two months. No improvement. Since they didn't know what else to do with me they referred me to a pain specialist who gave me a steroid shot that did NOTHING. The pain doc then referred me to a different physical therapist with a more chiropractic approach and "adjusted" my tailbone. At last, RELIEF! I went once a week for a month and rarefy had any pain. They said I didn't need to come anymore and I did great for a while. So good that we thought about trying to conceive for our second this year, but as of this week it has come back and is more painful than before. I am so tired of feeling like I'm getting somewhere and then landing back in square one. I'm also frustrated that no one else seems to know what it is because they've never heard of it or dealt with it before.
