Bad news for me & this seems to be the venue where people will understand my disappointment with the situation. Since Nov. 2011 I have been having tailbone pain (no jokes, it's called the coxyxx) At first I thought it was my bike but after taking weeks off of the machine it got no better..it hurts to sit like a normal person and even worse when I try to stan. I have had x-rays, have had two cortisone injections (did not help), an MRI and this week I went in for a bone scan. The orthopedic Dr's. are at a loss and have no answers. I'm 60 in a few months but this has never been one of my normal ailments. The thought of giving up my bike kills me, I know you all understand that. I am hoping the bone scan shows a problem that can be rectified. There is a surgery to remove the tip of the tailbone but the risk for infection and 6 months healing while lying on your side does not excite me... besides this only works in about 30% of the cases. I am at a total loss. I may make an appointment up at Stanford where there are better Dr's. Wish me the best guys...I am down in the dumps but at least my ride is clean as a whistle. I have tried to ride and after about 25 miles I feel like I have ridden 400 miles, no freaking fun.
