Tail bone

[Red18]

Hi all. I got diagnosed with osteopenia about 7 years ago. Have been well but just of late have been getting a pain in my back right on the tail bone. Not sure if it is fractured?? Keep getting a pressure type pain in the groin area. Would this be the usual symptoms? Thanks all for reading

Have you injured your lower back, sat down heavy or fallen on your coccyx. I would definitely have a word with your GP as they really are the only ones who will be able to tell you what the problem is. Good luck.

Hello spring Ross. The only thing I could think of was one I sat down on a really hard bench and git up feeling I had a sore bottom. That was when it all started??

Have a word with your GP, he/she may examine you and give you some painkillers. Good luck. x

Hi Red18, I would definitely see your GP, as you probably need to have an X-ray of your tail bone. I had osteopenia for many years and had a bone density scan in Feb which revealed that I now have osteoporosis, you need to have a scan about every three to four years.Hope you are soon better.

Thankyou ChristineK. I am seeing my GP tomorrow. I will mention definitely having an xray off my tailbone. I have a bone density scan booked on for January. Take care and thankyou for replying.

In 1977 I had a broken tail bone from giving birth. The only remedy was to sit on a “donut” pillow ( cushion made with a hole in the middle). Had several fractures till 2000 when diagnosed with Osteoporosis. Bones don’t heal appropriately but I am functional and manage pain daily. I’m grateful for what I can do.

Hello. I'm going for a dexa scan in January. So I should hopefully know if this is the case. Thanks for replying. Keep well
