Coccyx shock and AzzPadz
Holy mother. When I sat up this morning in bed, the pain in my lower back was excrutiating. It shot all the way up to my neck.
I made a call to my chiro as soon as their office opened and managed to swing an appointment. After I got to work, the pain was too bad to wait until 11:30, so I headed over to urgent care. I was poked mightily and sent for x-rays.
I am the proud owner of a badly bruised and chipped tailbone. And permission to roller skate after a few days of rest. Well, reluctantly given permission with a head shake and a look of disbelief.
The chiro was a fabulous experience as usual. Besides the bruising, I also compressed and obviously jolted all the way up my spine. Ouch. We started off with a round of electrical currents to my upper and lower butt region, layered with a pad of ice. After that, I had a couple of adjustments and I'm feeling less pain. I was also given permission to take a whole lotta ibuprofen, icing instructions and some good stretches. She was also very cool about my skating. Realistic about my desire to do it, and asking me to hold off a couple of days before I get back out there. She's a great lady.
Oh, yes, the azzpadz. I will have this delivered to me tomorrow. I know, I know, beyond dorky bit I will feel so much better with it on. AZZPADZ, loud and proud.

OWIE!
As someone who has broken her tailbone not once, but TWICE, you have my complete sympathy. Prior to this, I bet you did not know that EVERY single muscle in your body is somehow connected to your assbone. Yep, somehow the muscles which you use to raise your eyebrows are connected to your ass.
AZZPADZ all the way babes!
