I think I've buggered my coccyx. It hurts to sit down and it hurts to stand up, which is obviously not an ideal situation. Well, no, let me clarify — the act of standing up from being seated hurts, but standing up itself is not necessarily an issue aside from fatigue.
I had just been writing this off as general symptoms of being fat and old (which it probably is anyway), but apparently having pain in one's tailbone is something that can happen, and it usually goes away after a couple of weeks. It seems you can also relieve it somewhat with a special cushion, so I'm doing that before spending £100+ on a new chair, which I'm also considering doing.
Basically I'm just pretty decrepit. The last couple of years haven't helped my general physical condition at all, and it wasn't especially good in the first place. Plus right now I'm feeling a little uneasy about going out to the gym and/or swimming pool because of the new COVID restrictions in place — though I guess said restrictions aren't harsh enough to have actually closed places, so I guess it might be all right… perhaps? I don't know. Either way, with my bum hurting like this, I haven't really felt like exercise, either.
It's all go, isn't it?!
