HI, I suffer from chronic low back pain when sitting. No issues with tailbone. Does this cushion help chronic low back pain sufferers?

It's worth a try! Also, I've read that people with low back pain have weaker multifidus muscles, so I'd try an exercise for that too. Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis is one resource I've heard about. Hope this helps!

Any help would be minimal. I have some lower back pain too. I put a pillow at my lower back

It *really* depends on the reason for your lower back pain. If you have compressed vertebrae, or bad posture, I'm not sure this pillow would help. You might benefit more from a lumbar cushion than a coccyx cushion. As with any medical advice, check with your doctor first.

I think it would definitely help. I don't have a tailbone issue and it makes long car trips comfortable. Just taking the pressure off the low back helps

My mother has a recurring sore near her tailbone as well. This pad has helped a great deal in relieving the pressure in that area.

No, the cushion is just ok. I have a bigger bottom so the hole in the center of the cushion is not big enough : ( I used it on a long car ride & I think it hurt my bottom worse.

Yes. My husband says there is one trouble with this product and that is it becomes uncomfortable when you need to sit for a long period of time.

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.

I no longer have this chair, it caused severe tail bone pain, so I got rid of it. Probably not okay for full work days, or more than an hour at a time.

It doesn't for me. The bottom cushion is very stiff though. I did not know that when I bought it. But, it works really well for me. I'm happy with it.

I used it for my lower back close to the tailbone area. I'm sure you can use it for the tailbone area also.

Don't know what causes this problem for you but if pressure on the base of your tailbone is involved then this cushion MAY give some relief because of the cutaway where the tailbone would otherwise hit. So sorry that you are hurting, sounds very nasty. Could be sciatica from disc or other sciatic nerve pressure. I've had that and surgery. A MRI could show the specific problem. The cushion helps me avoid further sciatic pain when sitting in the car for long periods. I use lumber back support at home. Hope that this helps you.

I believe it will aid in comfort for your hip. My mother-in-law has her right hip hurting even tho it is her tailbone that was cracked. This is her third day with the pillow and she has found it to be her new friend. She was able to cut back on her pain pills and sit comfortably.

I would not recomend it if you have tailbone pain as this seat is extremely hard, cushion and suspension.

I did not experience that problem. However I do have a foot stool at my work desk where I use the cushion, (ergonomics suggested me to use)

No, it stays pretty still. The cushion on the seat isn't as soft as the back part. After a while of sitting my tail bone starts hurting.

It would probably be to tall but might work. I drive a tractor trailer at night and it helps my back but probably would have liked their original gel cushion better because the extreme seems to be a little too tall and seems hard to get comfortable on. I would try a thinner version.

may be is the type of cover you have, or you are a little bit unstable while sitting. I order this same cushion for my patient some months back and he is doing fine with it. I suggest that you use cloth or fabric cover on it.

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

I guess it may, depending on what is causing your numbness to begin with. The idea is it takes pressure off your spine/tailbone. It might be worth a shot. It has given me relief for pain that radiates down my leg do to a protruding disc.
