I have thousands of patients with coccyx pain (tailbone pain, coccydynia). Some of them had their tailbone pain caused by, or worsened by, activities such as snow-boarding, skate-boarding, skiing, etc.
Some people with tailbone pain want to continue doing activities like snowboarding, skateboarding, etc.
Some of them tell me that they like the way that “Ass Armor” shorts protects their coccyx from further injury/pain if they fall.
So I am sharing this here in case it may help others. (Note: I do not endorse any particular commercial product and I do not get any financial benefit or compensation from them for sharing this.)


To find this, go to Amazon and search for “Ass Armor” shorts.
In the United States, you can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Protective-Compression-Snowboard-Tailbone-X-Small/dp/B08F9LLBX5/
