A member asked:
Is it normal that my tailbone is sticking out ? i have lost a lot of weight & i am not in pain. the tailbone sticks out through my clothing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss causes tailbone to protrude, which is normal. If no pain or swelling then leave alone. Doing stretches at home or having physical therapy can reduce the sticking out.
