Pain in my rump

I bruised my tailbone after riding back in the beginning of April and I’m still not back in the saddle. It’s driving me a little crazy not being able to ride. We have had some beautiful weather that is perfect for riding.

But I’m stuck. The orthopedist was finally able to see me. He said that my back looks good overall. I’m in good shape. So we decided on injections near the tailbone to alleviate any swelling and help things return to normal.

I go back in two weeks for another check up. We’ll see how this goes.
