Trip to the Chiropractor

I made a trip to the chiropractor trying to figure out why my tail bone hurts so bad when I ride. I was told that possibly I have something out of line that is causing the pain. The chiropractor confirmed that something was out of line, but we'll see if it makes any difference. I put a softer foam on my seat, but within 15 minutes of riding I could hard handle the pain. I admit, I'm more of a 'sitter' than a 'stander' when I ride, old age partly, too tall to stand comfortably as it makes my back tired or with legs bent tires my legs.
I haven't had a chance to get on the bike again, but it seems that just sitting in general seems to be more comfortable. It would be great if that makes a real difference. A bit of discomfort is certainly normal, but excruciating pain totally takes the enjoyment out of the ride. Any one else suffer with this?

Bummer! I hope you get your pain figured out. I had a neck pain last year that stopped me from riding a few times.
