Traveling with a tailbone injury

I realize that this may not be the answer you are looking for but, why not just stay closer to home ???

Most people think that they have to go along ways to have fun and adventure but, I bet there is a lot of it close to you.

People from the west go to the east and people from the east go to the west. No one realizes the fun stuff going on right around them.

Has she tried reclining the seat? (if it can be reclined) That helped my spouse.

Lots of us have had to adjust our method of RVing over the years. Yours may involve shortening your driving days and stopping more often to stretch your legs and relieve the tailbone.

I suggest Pappy Van Winkle.

My late husband had a tail-bone problem and I found a slanted cushion with the cut out in back. It relieved the pressure on the tailbone and he did fine for at least 50 miles at a time. I seem to remember Walgreen's. It was not the round type donut.

I fell in TN years back, actually broke that bone and just sat on a pillow all the way back to FL.

Sorry to hear of her injury. I know how painful that can be, and it can last for years in some cases.

If you've tried all the pillows, I'll accept that as fact.

I can't believe a mattress in the back of a moving vehicle is going to be an acceptable relief, so I suggest you don't spend too much money on a first test. If you do, I'll bet you can rig up a seat belt that uses the existing attachment points, and if you've shown that effort I think LEO will be understanding.

When her injury becomes too painful in normal life, what does she do for relief? Stand up and walk around? Switch positions to something like a side-saddle sit? If you must travel while she is ailing, you might just have to accept that you will have to stop every hour (60-75 miles) and let her do whatever stretching provides relief, then continue with your slightly delayed journey.

The medical grade cushion with hole in the middle being used after hemorrhoids should work.

Wife and I both tried roller skating in our 50's , outcome was busted tail bones.

The simple doughnut cushions worked for us but nothing helped relieve embarrassment.

5 inch medical grade memory foam mattress topper from SAMs club helps reduce pain.

I took my wife on a two day 400 mile ride on my Harley. doc said she had a severely bruised tail bone. she used one of the cushions that looks like a small innertube and after about 2 weeks she was back to normal.

They make inflateable air mattresses for car back seats might work? She could try and get some kind of waiver from her doctor to satisfy the law . I know my husband had a seatbelt waiver after his shoulder surgery..
