I have lost 50 pounds over the course of the last 10 months, with about 30 more to go. I am doing this sensibly, eating very well, getting lots of great exercise and enjoying the whole process. Until recently, when I hurt my tailbone one morning doing some deadlifts. Now, it's more like the area around the tailbone hurts. I have not been over-exercising, and have backed off on the deadlifts, but still the butt hurts! I'm wondering if I've lost so much of my original "padding" and that's why things are hurting now?
I also wondered if doing some glute-specific exercises could help build up my butt so it would act as more of a cushion. I'm really uncomfortable, even when lying in bed.
