Gayle -

I had a 58* lumbar curve and yes, it caused pain in that area. It mostly flared up when I would walk and it also bothered me when I was sitting for a period of time.

well i had a diskogram done monday so wasnt sure if thats the pain or if the diskogram messed me up,its so frustrating.

I used to get a pinching pain in my sacrum and not so much now since I stopped bending and getting up from low couches. It used to make me fall to my knees, not pleasant. I used ice and it numbed the pain.

Trudy,

I can't remember if I had pain down around the tailbone area before surgery. But I sure have it there now! Most of the time when I sit, it feels like I am sitting on a pebble. Not on the outside of my body but on the inside. Also while driving I get burning, searing pain in the lower back along with the feeling that a rock is inside me and I am sitting on it. I asked the doctor one time about the sitting on the rock feeling and he said it could possibly be the end of the rod that I am feeling.

well now the dr is telling me i could have discitis which is an infection you can get in between the discs after a procedure like the discogram.i so hope not but this pain is awful,its like my tailbone is being stretched or something, hard to explain.
