How can i lose weight with a broken tailbone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't sit, ,exercise: I know a fractured coccyx is painful even when u r up ; about . If u r so painful that u r not able 2 exercise, u have 2 cut down on calories in . When u r able 2 work out again, start slowly. Walking ; increase activities as tolerated ; then get into ur usual routine of exercises. When sitting use a doughnut pillow. Worst case it gets 2 b chronic ; excision is a last resort. Pick ur surg carefull.
