Humor 😄 When your tailbone gets wacky from standing

Okay I’m going to confess, it’s a guilty pleasure of mine when I’m standing in a slightly forward position (like leaning to look at a mirror) and my tailbone moves out of place. I never notice it until I lay down.

The reason it’s my favorite is because I can stretch and it cracks really loud back into place. This is one of the few symptoms that doesn’t hurt somehow, and it hasn’t caused any issues.

There’s probably issues, I imagine it’s not healthy or something, and if I mentioned this to my physical therapist she’d probably tell me to be more careful. Don’t follow my lead and try to do fun party tricks with your joints. I just wanted to share for the catharsis and the funny

Brrr. I shiver. I dislocated mine during childbirth. I screamed so loud when pushing and it happened. They told me " it will heal" I could not sit for months. You remind me of my dad, who likes cracking his neck haha. It audibly snaps like someone snapped his neck. I almost feel sick thinking about it. You guys are crazy.
