coccyxdynia

[coccyxdenia]

Hi, 5 years back I fell from the staircase and was bedridden for a week.But after that i had severe attacks of pain near my tail bone it will shoot as if something is burning.sometimes as if a nerve string has been pulled and it will start paining and stays for 1hour or so although i would take painkiller.Th pain radiates all over to my hips both sides and my stomach spasm.
A year after I went to dr he prescribe pain killers .ut now I have met a physiotherapist , who has given me the hope that it can be coreected.
But the x-ray I had taken at that time is not very clear. but after touching the aread my physiothrapist adviced that its the sitting bone the coccyx.as it pains.
I just want to know is it really curable? won't it aggarvate my problem .I am a little frightened and nervous.Please advice if I am doing the right thing.
Even I have back problem my back becomes quite tight and pain.Is it due to my posture problem?

Hi Newbie, I've also had pain in my tailbone for years after being jarred on my tailbone during a jeep ride on rough terrein. I have tried everything and the pain remains. It is hard to sit, it hurts when I stand up from a sitting position.. I also found out that I have osteoporosis (the trauma to the tailbone occurred before I knew I had osteoporosis). Today I just had xrays made of my lower back and tailbone since I want to know if anything can be seen - microfractures or whatever. But phys therapy and manual therapy did not help me to get rid of the pain. I would be interested to hear how you are faring! all the best, Pam
