I have had some not so good days with my tailbone again. Feels like the musculature or tendonous/ligamental attachments are pulling with a dull pain to one side (right I think).

This has been a direct result of the bicycling tho I surely try to avoid huge bumps/potholes by standing when going over.

This bike is different than the other I was using as it's lighter and I'm wondering if it absorbs less shock. I have a pretty good seat on it and my position seems Ok tho my coccyx or structures around it are definately feeling the effect. No burning in my legs or buttocks like I used to get if trying bike riding so that much is good however I do have to limit the biking to nonconsecutive days it seems.

Yesterday rode light rail for an hour, went out to eat sitting for over an hour and couldn't handle going to a play.. just too much for the ol' tailbone area.

Today still sore (last rode day before yesterday). It may have something to do with trying to move my futon sofa an inch or two to straighten it out but I think this is mainly bike related.

Anybody know if it's possible that the weight of the bike can contribute to the impact one feels in the coccyx/low lumbar area?? Low back stiffens which I think is related more to spasming tho nothing overt in terms of back pain.

So wondering about Ketamine treatment even if one were a surgical candidate of some type. Again something I cannot afford tho to be out of pain entirely (mind and body) would be so wonderful.
