My Coccyx

Posted 11.07.2005 by Bunga Din (1239)
Bad move. Very, very bad move. Everything was going fine until I became airborne -- I sailed much higher than the toboggan and landed ass first on the curled front edge. And then my head hit the board. Out like a light.

Next thing I knew, I was waking up in an ambulance racing to the hospital. X-rays revealed that I'd broken my coccyx (my tailbone) and given myself a major concussion. The pain was otherworldly. The doctors seemed more concerned about my head injury, though, telling me, "We'll worry about your back later." So I spent the greater part of two days lying on my side while being wheeled around for tests. Then, on the third day, the doctor asked if I'd had a B.M. I told him no. He said, "We'll fix that."

Oh, no.

This pretty nurse comes in, moves my gown, and says, "This will feel warm and you'll feel pressure -- just try to hold it in." Next thing I know I feel like I've been inflated with the entire contents of the Goodyear Blimp. The pain in my back is so intense I lose control and spew a stewy froth of liquid all over myself and the nurse. It took a long time for them to get me cleaned up and into new sheets.

The doctor came to tell me it's very important that I do a B.M. But the pain is so intense I can't. He said there was blood in my "liquid offering" and if I couldn't evacuate myself they will have to go in. I lay there terrified, like a character from Friday the 13th -- there was no escape. I tried and tried to shit, all to no avail, each time feeling so humiliated that a nurse had to come in to help me crap. Oh, what just God could force such suffering on me? And on the nurse?

Two days passed and it was now time for the necessary extraction to take place. With my father at my bedside I pleaded, through tears of fear, shame, and pain, "Just take me home. Please, just take me home..." But it was not to be.

Now as I said, I was a Shameful Shitter at this age. So guess what fate determined for me: a group of interns would be there to see the miracle of a shit being forcibly delivered by the demon hands of this sinister physician. The process was horrid, the pain absolute, and once the big obstruction was released a flood of brackish venom seeped out of my ass faster than a hurricane through a New Orleans levee. The contents were kept in a stainless steel dish for all to marvel.

After it all, they cleaned me up and sent me back upstairs. The next day I was told they would need to do a digital exam, as there "may have been some tearing." At this point, with Mother and Dad at my side, I snapped. "'May have been some tearing,'" I repeated, tears pouring down my cheeks. "You pulled a bus through the eye of a needle!"

My dad laid a firm hand on my shoulder and consoled me. "You'll be alright."

The next day came and the exam went OK -- no significant damage to my turd trafficway. The doctor said I could finally go home.

The pain of breaking your tailbone is bad, as bad as kidney stones -- but the shame, the absolute shame of having to always sit on the side of your leg like you are letting off a gargantuan fart is worse. This condition lasted for three months. When I got back to school one of my friends said, "After lunch on the day you got hurt, the principal made an announcement about you and said everybody should say a prayer."

I looked him in the eye. "If you'd been through what I went through, you'd realize there is no God."

Wow! How humiliating! I had to get a nut ultrasounded a couple of months ago and the nurse was a supermodel but that doesn't compare to what you went through. I'm glad there is no snow or toboggans where I live. That must have been worse than death.

A crowd watches as a dominate male forces his way into a private part with the promise that you'll thank him later. Hmm.

Crappen Geocacher (not verified) -- 11.07.2005

Sounds pretty scary.

I had a bladder problem after an operation, and it took near fainting, and standing up at the potty, to force the bladder to empty.
The Doctors were going to poke a cathater in through the abdomin, but didn't have to.

Pooping and peeing while in the hospital, is not always an easy thing to do.

cc (not verified) -- 11.07.2005

I had a digital exam recently and I told the doctor he had a big finger.He smiled and said he was not using his finger.

Splatterbuns (70) -- 11.07.2005

Wow! That was such a humiliating experience for you that I almost felt guilty laughing.

Sledding accidents can be brutal. A guy I knew in high school fell off a sled and got a stick up his ass. It actually punctured his intestine and he had to walk around with a smelly colostomy bag for a few weeks until it healed.

Bilgepump (1597) -- 11.07.2005

I broke my tailbone in the same fall that wrecked my knees playing hockey, I feel your pain, Bunga!!!

Di Uhreea (409) -- 11.07.2005

Ok, that comment by cc caught me off guard and made me spew coffee.
I've had a broken tailbone AND kidney stones. I don't know what made you compare those, bunga, but the stones are a more acute pain while the tailbone is prolonged.
Both extremely painful, nonetheless!

The one time I bailed while sledding, I was with a chubby friend on an inner tube and after we caught some air on a big jump, she landed on me and I thought I was going to die.
I also saw everything "in negative" for about 30 seconds. That was the weirdest part.

I compared the stones and broken coccyx because I've had stones twice, it hurt but the broken tailbone was severely fractured and it was a very long haul. Don't feel bad about laughing, that's what this is here for. P.S. The worst thing about the accident was I ended up losing a great deal of my hearing due to the severity of the concussion. I was out for over 15 minutes.

what?

wonderpance (555) -- 11.07.2005

i would be so pissed if something like that happened to me. i don't even like the idea of one doctor and/or one nurse seeing me in that sort of condition, much less a room full of interns. i'm sorry you had to go through that! but great story!

"your gramma broke her cockyx."

Ulala (11) -- 11.07.2005

Oh man.. I bruised my tailbone once, when I was about 11 or 12, by falling off the monkey bars. Knocked the wind right out of me. I had to sit on a pillow for the next three weeks. I can only begin to imagine how much worse the pain was, and then the shame on top of that.

Shit monster (85) -- 11.07.2005

I would have rather died than this and I thought it was bad when I fractured my pelvis in my shitty car accident.

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 11.08.2005

Bunga Din, did you go to private school? I was thinking about the Principal encouraging his students to pray. Can't do that these days, or the PC police will get ya.
What a horrible experience to go through. I can only imagine what it would feel like to break my coccyx.

Ecoli Canoe (not verified) -- 11.08.2005

Bad circumstances, but at least you got to show your backside to a pretty nurse. Not many of us are so priviledged.

Bunga Din (1239) -- 11.09.2005

Fart Poopie, I was in public school but this was back in 1975, we said the Lords Prayer and sang Oh Canada every morning. Principal was a Mennonite.

runninggrrl2 (170) -- 11.09.2005

That's the most horrific thing I've ever heard. Of course, it was probably necessary though...you wouldn't want a ruptured or torn bowel in addition to a broken coccyx. Then you might have needed a stoma and a bag for a while. Now THAT would suck.

that suckes when i cracked my tail bone i got crap on my own

Rckswmn (13) -- 11.12.2005

dude that totally sucks! I am so glad i'm not you!

mott the poople (126) -- 11.15.2005

I just read another pooped on the nurse story. I'm starting to think all nurses get pooped on. The intern thing...WTF!!???? The look I would have given them....%{.... would have scared Freddy Kruger out of the room. I'm shameless, but not in the living human impacted shit classroom...NFW. Not while I'm PAYING. Maybe when I'm 85+. I'm checking my rights in case I'm ever (or someone I care about is) in that "position".(!)

La Petomaine (71) -- 11.20.2005

Dude, your story was so painful I couldn't even laugh!
And the humiliation--you must still have nightmares!
My father fell down a six foot ladder when he was working at the sewage plant. (No joke. He later became a college professor!) He landed hard on his butt, luckily not breaking his coccyx. But 40 years later he had to have surgery because of 2 compressed and calcified discs. The doctor told him this long-ago accident could have been the cause of this problem!
Take care of yourself.
And of course...
Have a crappy day!

Yeah sledding accidents can be brutal. I knew a kid who tore his sack open on a branch that was on the ground. OW!

just reading that made my ass hurt.

The Shit Volcano (3732) -- 02.23.2006

Ouch! I can remember when I cracked my tailbone. I was five years old and slipped on the gravel driveway at my grandparents' house. Pooping was a literal pain in the ass for weeks after that, plus I couldn't sit down or walk without pain. I'm glad the turdbus never passed through my asshole, though!

La Mierda Grande (not verified) -- 07.11.2006

Wow, you made me feel better. I broke my tailbone twice in a month (slipping on ice with birkenstocks- parents wouldn't buy me boots). I broke it at a 90 degree angle and it's been horrible ever since. Then after 7 years of that pain in the bum, a crazy woman ran through a red light and totaled my car. The front end of my car was like... a half a foot long after she smashed it. I was suprised I wasn't dead, but now I have some great new leg, arm, back, and neck pains thanks to the blind idiot. I thought I was so unlucky to live in pain like this every day- but I was wrong!! Every time I go to the doctor, I will think of you dear friend. Because after all the needles and fingers up my butt to "help me", nothing could be worse than a bunch of interns, a presumably hot nurse, a doctor, and your family watching you be force pooped! You are a hero for not sprinting (or hobbling) out of that hospital!

healthy 1 (1423) -- 11.07.2006

Ouch, I could almost feel your pain.

I can imagine that when poop started building pressure up there, it felt like a jackhammer.

Hopefully, since this story posted, you have made a full recovery and your pain was short lived.

i recently broke my coccyx and i can confirm the pain is immense also the way ppl look at you when ur using ur doughnut cushion is bad i feel myself explaining to ppl i never met what i have done so they dont think i have piles lol

Colby (not verified) -- 02.28.2007

I recently flew off a jump on my snowboard, made it about 10 feet in the air and slammed right into the hard ground. I believe i broke my tailbone from it, sounds like the same thing

Lynn (not verified) -- 05.11.2007

Your story made me laugh!!! I fell down a flight of stairs 3 weeks ago and my tailbone is killing me!!!!!!!!! It hurts even more when I try to get up off of a chair. I called my doctor and he said it takes a long time to heal and that there is not much they can do!!! Is this true???

MsStanzalot (not verified) -- 10.13.2007

Your story, while incredibly humiliating for you, was so funny to read! I don't know how old you are, but you really have a talent for making people laugh. I broke my tailbone sparring, and since I'm 40 it's taking a really long time to heal (been a year now). I haven't had any of the pooping problems you experienced, though. I was getting frustrated with it, but after reading your post I'm thinking perhaps I'm lucky...

Hamster (580) -- 10.14.2007

My sincere commisserations on this humiliating experience BD! I've never been in hospital, thank God, but I just know I would not be able to shit, and I really fear something like this happening to me.

My attention was caught by the first post in the thread, from CEP, about his ultrasound and the supermodel nurse. I had ultrasound a couple of years ago and was taken into a darkened room by a very pretty nurse, who started proceedings by asking me to take off my clothes and get on to the bed. I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't help making a funny (inane) remark that she'd probably heard a thousand times before, but she was still extremely nice to me throughout. Our nurses are wonderful!

Pain in the heini (not verified) -- 11.12.2007

How do you know if you have broken your tail bone vs just bruised it? I fell down the other day and am in real pain now. Can't sleep and sitting is painful. Anyone who's been thru this?

Bunga Din (1239) -- 11.12.2007

Pain, I've broken my tail bone twice, this story above was the first time and the worst. There really is not much doctors can do for you, they will provide you with pain pills and tell you to get an inflatable donut to sit on but besides that there isn't much they can do.

If you are in excruciating pain, have extensive bruising (possible internal bleeding) or blood in your poop see a physician. If you go be prepared for the rubber glove from HELL.

Nurse with a bruised coccyx (not verified) -- 12.19.2007

Just wanted to let you know I feel for you. I fell while rollerskating and bruised my coccyx. X-ray is normal! Hard to believe that, the pain is horrendous. By the way, I am a nurse, and if you work with people in a hospital, clinic or long-term care facility, you may have been pooped on.

survivor (not verified) -- 05.04.2008

i too have had both a smashed coccyx and kidney stones.

although the pain of the tail rendered me unconscious and then nauseas and vomiting etc. Kidney Stones were 100 times worse. I think they must be analogous to crucifixion and at least as bad- if not worse than childbirth. (im not female but have kids so ama witness!)

im starting to think that my role in life is to "sample" all pain types and sources. Like a kind of pain connoisseur.

prarie doggin (1823) -- 05.04.2008

I have injured my tail bone on a toboggan, and I can't imagine what breaking it must have been like. What I can't figure out is why doctors insist we shit whenever we are injured or have surgery near our asshole. I broke an arm once and was never asked to shit. I severed my thigh muscle, and wasn't asked to take a shit. BUTT, a pilonidalectomy, an appendectomy, a varicosele surgery, they were all over me like stink on shit to take a dump. I actually had my wife smuggle one of her turds into my bathroom just to get the doctor off my case. I hope you're doing better Bunga. Those tailbone injuries leave that area very prone to getting reinjured for years.
