@health_tips_tiktok: If You sit down… SHARP PAIN. You lean back on a chair, you drive, you use the toilet, or you fall down on your buttock… Pain right at the very bottom of your backbone, between your two buttocks. It feels like there is a sharp bone, or something is bruised, or a nail is there. People say: “Ah! You have a pile" or “You sat on something sharp” or “It is rheumatism”. You put on a pillow, you rub oil, you sit on a soft cushion… but it pains you every time you sit. 👉IT IS NOT A PILE, IT IS YOUR TAILBONE THAT IS INFLAMED OR BENT. Here is exactly what it is.👇 ✅ WHAT IS THAT BONE? At the end of your spine, after the big bones, there is a small, curved, triangular bone called the COCCYX (TAILBONE). It is the last part of your backbone. ✅ ITS JOB: When you sit, your weight rests on your two hip bones and this small tailbone. It acts as a support and balance. ✅ PROBLEM: It is small, it is curved, and it is very close to the surface. There is not much flesh or muscle to protect it. ✅ 1. FALL OR DIRECT HIT. This is the no.1 CAUSE. You fell down and landed hard on your buttock. Or you hit the back of the seat with the bone while driving or in a vehicle. ✅ RESULT: The bone gets bruised or even cracked, or sometimes it bends forward inward. Now, every time you sit, you press the bruised or bent bone against the flesh and skin. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. ✅ 2. SITTING TOO LONG ON A HARD CHAIR. Very common for students, traders, drivers, and office workers. Long pressure irritates the covering of the bone. It becomes inflamed. ✅ NAME: COCCYDYNIA. ✅ 3. AFTER CHILDBIRTH. In women, during delivery, the baby passes through and pushes the tailbone backward or bends it. Many women start having this pain after having children. ✅ 4. BEING TOO THIN. If you have no flesh on your buttock, the bone is sticking out. Every time you sit, the bone meets a hard chair. No cushion. CONSTANT PAIN. ✅ HOW TO KNOW IT IS NOT OTHER THINGS:👇 ✔️PILE PAIN: Inside the anus, when passing stool. ✔️ THIS PAIN: Outside, at the base of the spine, worse when sitting or leaning back. ✔️ TEST: Press the very tip of your backbone with your finger. If it pains you exactly there, IT IS THE TAILBONE. ❌ MYTH: “It is a pile or infection.” ✅ FACT: It is INFLAMMATION OR BRUISE OF THE SMALL BONE. ❌ WRONG TREATMENT:👇 ✔️ MASSAGE: Do not massage it hard. It makes inflammation worse. ✔️ PAINKILLERS: Only temporary. ✔️ SITTING ON SOFT SOFA: A Soft sofa makes you sink in, the bone presses more. A FIRM CHAIR IS BETTER. ✅ CURE:👇 1. DOUGHNUT CUSHION: Sit on a pillow with a hole in the middle. The bone hangs in the air, no pressure. BEST CURE. 2. LEAN FORWARD: When sitting, lean forward a bit. Take the weight off the bone. 3. ICE PACK: Put cold cloth on the spot for 15 mins to reduce the swelling. 4. TIME: It takes 4–6 weeks to heal. Be patient. 👉Pain at the bottom of the spine is TAILBONE, not Pile. Sit on a doughnut cushion and lean forward #healthtips #healthtok #stayhealthy #fyp #tailbonepain
