Wife's Coccyx-Area PainFrom: Phil (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 29 Nov 1998 21:00:58 -0600 (CST)
My wife is 3 weeks from term with her first -ever child. Over the past week she has developed an extremely severe pain whenever she tries to walk, shift in bed, sit up, etc. We have been to her Phys. and he explains the pain to be bones rubbing together (as they are getting themselves ready for the birthing process). He says there is nothing that he knows of to aid in the reduction/solution of this problem. My wife explains the pain to be as if she is being stabbed with a knife in the coccyx region. The pain is somewhat like an electric shock in nature in that the pain does not last like that of a cut. It "zaps" her and is then over. The problem with this is that it can happen with every step/movement on her part. She has to be helped to the bathroom, into/out-of bed, walking, etc. She can only take small baby steps, keeping the side-to-side movement to a minimum. The worst of it all is when we get her into bed (on her back) and she tries to roll onto her side to sleep. I can't believe that she is the only pregnant woman to have ever run into this problem. Please, if any of you with info/solutions to this problem, pass it on to us. I can't bear to see such a wonderful lady in pain for the next 3 weeks with me not being able to help her. Thank you all in advance for your time and expertise. Phillip Worsham
