Male 22. Something like slouching will expose my tailbone to the chair and it ends up hurting if I don't flex my ass a bit. It's basically second nature now but I wonder how normal it is. My body is perfectly healthy and fit (I'm 5' 10'' and I weigh 160) but my ass is so small. It hurts to try and do sit-ups on a hardwood floor too. In that situation, even flexing my ass can't stop the pain in my tailbone. How common is this? I do squats and run on the treadmill but I still have no like ass muscle. It isn't like Hank from that show though I'm pretty sure.

    Maybe you've injured your coccyx at some time? It shouldn't hurt to sit on your tailbone

      Maybe a long time ago? I haven't been able to sit on my tailbone for as long as I can remember

        That's possible. I injured mine in my 20's sliding down some steep stairs while very drunk: of course it didn't hurt at the time and by the time a chiropractor picked it up it was too late to do anything about it. Forty years later I slid down my front steps (not drunk this time) and injured it again in a way which straightened it up, but I'm not recommending you try that as a remedy.

    Well I can't do sit-ups at all because of the pain in my tailbone. I always thought I was doing it wrong. I tried doing them on carpets and still it hurt. My butt isn't huge but it's big enough that it shouldn't hurt.. So it must be normal

      Wow, I'm sorry. So even like a yoga mat will still cause pain?
