Pain in the ass...literally.

Well its official..I managed to dislocate my tailbone. I think it all started a few years ago when I was getting off of my dad's truck and hit my tailbone. It hurt really bad and I ended up fainting. Then last year I was snowboarding and fell really hard on the ice and ever since then it has been a little tender, but I never thought much of it because I thought I had just bruised the bone. So a few Friday's ago I went to the snow again and ever since when I sit down or anything really it hurts. I was telling Eric's mom about this and she said to get an x-ray because she hurt her tailbone when she was young....so....yesterday I went to the doctor and got an x-ray and she gave me her unofficial reading which was "wow! this is one messed up tailbone". I get the official results in about a week.

Here on the right is a picture of a normal perfect tailbone. On the left is what a usual dislocation looks like...and the black line is what mine looks like.
YIKES!!
