>lower back pain

How low?

I've had a terrible pain in my tailbone going on a few months now. I finally relented and got one of those donut shaped memory foam pillows. 40€ for a block of foam with a hole in it is criminal, but after using it for a week now, I must admit it does help a lot.

I had pain in my tailbone like this for 1.5 years (including donut cushion and all) before a doc ordered a CT and found I had a hemmorhoidal cyst.

Not sure if that’s already been excluded, but my life has been a lot happier since they removed it :P

This always happened to me on those Aeron chairs and pre-covid I was using those doughnut pillows for a few years, they worked great.

If it's an acute pain at your tailbone, you might want to consult a doctor or nurse. You could be having a common condition like a pilonidal cyst.
