Slammed the corner right under my tailbone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296442 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:58:17 +0000 yellowbird 1296442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: ouch!!

This might be easier said than done while pregnant? Pillow behind your lumbar section should push you forward a bit.</p> <p>Also, I use a topical pain reliever called Myoflex It doesn't seem to be contraindicated for pregnancy, but you could ask the pharmacist. I'd rub that on the spot as well as taking some Tylenol. </p> <p>ETA: Actual bottle just says "tell your doctor if you're pregnant", but Dr. Google says an ingredient might not be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296413 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:22:10 +0000 erwoo 1296413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try it. Maybe safety pin it together or temporarily sew ribbons to tie it together to make the hole smaller. You don't want it too big bc it could hurt you more. Hope it works to save you a trip to the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296395 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:48:14 +0000 Bao 1296395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: this is not a good week for that, and having a toddler doesn't help! @erwoo: I don't have one but maybe a boppy would work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296393 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:45:25 +0000 Dandelion 1296393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally, I'd say ibuprofen, but since that's off limits, now, I'd go for the tylenol.</p> <p>Can you go see your doctor to see if they can prescribe something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296355 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:23:45 +0000 erwoo 1296355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! Have you tried sitting on one of those donuts? Like the ones you use post natural delivery? I'm sure the only thing you can take is Tylenol since you're pregnant; but definitely check with your OB if you're in a lot of pain. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296354 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:21:43 +0000 pelikila 1296354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bruised my tailbone and my mom broke her tailbone once. In both cases it took plain rest and staying off of it as much as possible. For my bruise it was several days of laying there. For my mom's break she had some painkillers but it was more than a week of not doing anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-relief-for-injured-tailbone#post-1296350 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 10:18:53 +0000 Bao 1296350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hurt my tailbone really bad last night, so much that I can't sit or lay on it. I have Tylenol but what else do you suggest for pain relief? Keep in mind I'm pregnant. Has anyone injured their tailbone, and how long did the pain last? </p>
