How does this hold up for a person with tailbone pain?

Well, my husband was experiencing back problems at the time and even with three days of sitting he was amazed that he was not in pain. Hope this helps!

I have an injured tail bone and it has been a relief to sit on this cushion! The cut out allows your legs to support your body, taking all of the pressure off of your tail bone. It's great for sitting around and in the car. Check it out.

I think it might work for that. My problem concerns my lower back and down along my leg, so the cushion pressed on those areas. There is a gap where your coccyx bone is so I would guess that would be OK for you.

My mom's pain was in her tailbone as well, and this cushion gave her the relief she needed. Sitting in a reclining position also helped to alleviate the pressure in that area.

I broke my tailbone skiing and tried many a different style cushion. This one was by far my favorite.

I bought this for my daughter after she had back surgery on her lower back between the hip bones. She said it helped her with the arthritis pain she was also experiencing.I don't know anything about a ruptured disc. That is a different type of pain, I would imagine.

I wear it through an aggressive workout and shower and it holds up okay. It doesn't seem to be the water that makes it lose it's stickiness more just rubbing it with my body or clothes. I use it I. My calf and I definitely notice a reduction in pain but only get on to two days out of each application. I still would recommend this product! Good luck!

I've tried CosiminD, knox joint powder, a Costco brand, instaflex and a couple others. The ultra bone up had a great independent rating so I tried it. Had joint pain relif in 3 weeks and has worked great. (Stopped once and the pain came back in a week)

It is very comfortable. It did compress quite a bit within a relatively short time after I began using it. I am a relatively small build, and it still gives me more than enough cushioning. I can't say how well it would hold up with someone obese, but I think it would be OK. good luck.

No, I have worn a boot the last week and a half and it's been fine. If your non weight bearing this is absolutely worth the money. I could still do household chores and function almost normally. I also have crutches and used a couple of times but this is just more stable and I felt so much more "normal" on this then I did crutches. I give this on a scale of 1-10 a 20!!

I believe yet, it would help. Falling while pregnant is actually what broke my tailbone and has caused me so much pain since then. I don't think this pillow would work if you are very heavy. If you are under 170, I think it will work for you. May the birth of your baby be a blessed day. Judith

I've had it since February 2014 (now it's November) and it's still doing great. Still super comfy. There's something in the material that keeps it from smelling weird n stuff too. I know it hasn't been a year yet, but I expect it to keep holding up perfectly fine. Either way....if it does implode on me eventually, I can afford to just buy another one because they're cheap :)

It depends on your injuries! I was able to get relief in my back after a week with two treatments a day along with exercise. It lasted a year now depending on what I'm doing ,yard work , golfing , running I aggravate my back. Now I give myself a couple of treatments and pain is gone.

I haven't really experienced lower back pain so I cannot answer, but for someone suffering from hemorrhoids it truly helps when sitting.

The limbs have held up pretty good for me so far! I do recommend different bolts though. The glue holding the threaded piece in does NOT hold up to cold weather. I lost a broad head the other day because of it.

I had very painful buttitis. I could barely go from a sitting to standing position due to the pain in my lower butt and top of legs. Goggled the problem. Advice was a buckwheat pillow. I sat on the pillow at my computer station. Had relief from the pain in a few hours. I also got the Japanese one for sleep. I put the pillow on my back as I am a side sleeper. I swear sleep has been so much more restful. It works.

No problem with tailbone! However, a man needs to mount the chair with some caution. Once mounted it is surprisingly comfortable. We use these in our dental office. Much cheaper than "dental" stools, but function just as well!

I guess it depends on how heavy he is. I gave this to my son-in-law who has tail bone issues and he says now that he uses the mat he never even thinks about his tail bone anymore. I have felt of the foam and it is very strong. It is not some of that "weak-sister" foam that they put in some mats. Hope this helps.

OK, for me I had from waist down back pain, stiffness and terrible aching. My very lower spine felt as if it was fused. I started off abt waistline, then kept moving it down after the 20 mins.. Then I moved over my back pelvic bone (injuries from car accident) and worked that area. I kept this up for several hours. The areas I worked on after the 20 mins were pretty much pain free afterwards for a day or two. But I worked it hard to catch my nerve pathway, Google for illustration. In a month I have only had a couple of episodes of real step stopping pain. My lower back is now loose again and I have much more flexibility. It depends on your source of pain so you will have to judge that for yourself. I use this every day, especially after doing physical work. I no longer am kept awake from discomfort/pain. So for me it really stops the pain for days as long as I keep at it. I have a friend who has a different unit which has 4 pads and she runs her just about all the time. She is so happy to no longer to be on narcotics. She has super severe nerve damage from an illness. I just wish I had known about this unit years ago...would have had a better quality of life. I plan on buying another unit in the future with more pads. This Homedic unit is amazing and convenient device with no battery pack to carry around. Hope this helps.

Not bad. The foot rest seems pretty strong. I haven't used it to sit for hours.

As for mine, I have no complaints, I also bought a orthopediate cushion, and that too, I have no complaints. They both feel alright, and helps with my bad back.
