Sore bum

Sharrym

Random question. Does anyone else get sore bum bones??! Bloody sitting down to get some relief and even that hurts!!! Oh but today I was told to drink tonic water and that would help!!

Hugs to all

Hmmm tonic water that's an interesting one, thought that was for cramp!!!
So info on bum bones! They are where your hamstrings attach and have a bursa (fluid filled sac) between them and hamstring tendon, since we tend to suffer arthritis related bursitis I would assume that is why ur bum bones hurt!
Sorry not much help resolving it other than sit on soft surfaces and cold pack if u can bear it!

I find tonic water helps, if mixed with a little Gin! (in moderation of course!)

Now that's one remedy I'd try. :shock: Mig

Yes I get sore bum bones. I have to sit on a cushion. Might try Claire's remedy.

Always a moderate amount of tonic, plenty of gin though xxx

Yes I'm another one that find sitting can be not painful but sore like you say..I am like a yoyo through out the day....I was told to get one of these rings you can sit on....but I haven't tried one yet..

Do you mean the the sacro-iliac joints? Mine hurt all the time thanks to PsA, whether I'm standing, sitting or lying I know they're there. DD

I get sore b*m too!!! I have been told it's bursitis in my case though.

I rather like the treatment regime you all advocate

me too i cant sit and watch a film or anyhting long and i tend to be up and down all day ,maybe just one of these things we have to put up with ,cant see how tonic water would help thats a new one on me ,but agree it would help if mixed with a little alcohol

Yes, I have a 'half an hour' bum! I fractured it (coccyx) a few years ago and it never did heal well.

I'm just about to have a healthy G&T, what wonders these modern medicines!!!!! Many thanks for that suggestion, I might have just carried on drinking whisky!

Yep, I'm another one. Can get very painful. It's not only out to the sise of the back, but my tail bone, even to touch hurts. So I am up and down. Cant stand for to long and cant sit for to long. I have just bought a donut from Amazon to try and reduce the pressure but keep forgetting I have it. So, I think the other remedy, with the gin, that one sounds really pleasing.

Am I right in thinking you drink it and not rub it in cos I've already downed a couple and its working. :shock: :roll: Oops got carried away Miiii g

applerose

Noooo, Mig. You're supposed to rub it in.

mig

It's very runny when you try and rub it in,it works better if you drink it but be careful you don't drink too much the headaches the next day are horrendous. ! Mig

Airwave!

Do you think we might widen the scope of these medicines? Brandy, Cognac, Martini or even a spot of Pimm's for a social application?

mig

Wow airwaves you are a genius.Mig

Like you I suffer from a sore bum especially when my sciatica is playing up
One day it was giving me 10 on the grief scale no matter what I did it would not I could not get comfortable stood up, sat down extra pain meds my old bottom was soooooo sore.
Then my beloved in her infinite wisdom suggested using 2 Memory Foam Pillows side by side to sit on and low and behold it worked it did not take the pain away completely but boy it didn't half ease it.
As I said its not a total cure but having a sore bum when everything else is playing up like a class full of naughty school kids is something you could do without.
