Hello!
I was just wondering if anyone here in this forum have ever experienced tailbone injury due to fall on the ice. I fell on my tailbone on 2008 .It was not broken ,the doctor did not see anything serious in the x ray. I was in pain and for the first days, only confortable in prone position but soon i recovered. Throughout these years, i started running, cycling and kung fu classes (were we were carrying on another on our backs and not even a slight pain ...) , i fell of my bike numerous times -not on the tailbone- and i did not have EVER any problem with my coccyx. Recently i started pole dancing and last Monday while i was with the head down and legs on the pole, the instructor told us to shift our body (without holding the pole, the power should come from the abdominals) i pressed the tailbone against the pole and it hurt , the felling was like you are constantly pressing a bruise. Not extreme pain but annoying. I think that i did not do the move correctly, i suppose that you don't suppose to have your tailbone in contact with the pole...Anyway, i was so sad and of course i will not continue pole dancing. But the problem is that after the class i went for just an hour of ice skating to see if this pain affects skating, and yes it did....I was very careful while skating, i didn't fall but my taibone was in pain. Now the pain is gone after rest but i don't know what to do with ice skating....I have ordered a tailbone protector..but seriously i don't know if it is good to continue....
Thank you for reading this!
