It is possible you could have fractured your tailbone or are experiencing nerve pain. It's hard to tell what it is so I would recommend seeing your doctor to rule out anything serious. If you're coming down into the pole when going into a CAR it is possible the force could injure that area. It's important when performing any moves as such you're not dropping with force but rather a controlled descent. When teaching this move, new students are taught to use a hand behind the tail bone on the pole to guide the body down. Treatment for fractured tailbones/coccyx is rest to let the bone heal on its own. It's important to get this checked to assure its not nerve pain. Nerve pain can be very debilitating and extremely painful if gone untreated.
thank you hun . . . i slipped a few months back doing my first cars . . . so its been ever since then i thought it would go but it only hurts when i sit down for a long time . . like from pressure but im gonna go to doctors . . . the bone feels quite prominent so i think i need it looked at hahah how embarrasing

I also have a strange thing going on with my knees that I need advise on too. I was doing stretching exercises daily particularly for front splits and I may have overdone it (was stretching everyday) and now my knees feel as if there is a lump or a lodge between my knee caps and tendon. It does not hurt but I feel a little stiff/resistance whenever I move/walk or even when I rest. This odd feeling is more obvious when I straighten my leg compared to if I bend it. Anyone experienced this before?

@Amyyyy -The knee can be a common injured joint in the body that can take years to develop into painful injuries. Typically pain is the red flag that something is wrong but in the beginning stages of knee injuries, pain may not be present. Repeated injury to already injured areas can create a greater problem for the area including development of scar tissue that inhibits movement. The stiffness you may feel can be a result of inflammation to the area. When straightening your leg you are closing in on an area in the knee which becomes smaller as opposed to when you bend you are allowing for the inflammation to have a larger area. I would give it a rest for at least a 2 week minimum and if the area becomes irritated, swollen, painful, red, warm, or movement becomes worse- see your doctor immediately.

Thanks for the reply! I have rested it for a week but it still persists. Will definitely keep monitoring it and see a doc if it continues another week. Appreciate your input! :)
