Have you ever been referred about this? It is possible to damage the tailbone and some people have ongoing pain because of an injury that wasn't diagnosed and so didn't resolve properly. Injuries like this can be from simple trauma (falling on your butt), major trauma (car crash),pregnancy/childbirth, etc.
It is also possible that this is an issue with the muscles and ligaments, in which case physio should be able to help.
What does your GP say about it?
I get a lot of problem with this. Pain in the lower back/tailbone, radiating out to my hips. Sometimes, nothing helps. I've tried the usual Tamadol/Gabapentin along with Naproxen, but no, it's always there when it flares up. I had this since 1999 and have been for numerous x-rays. I did mention to the GP that perhaps a CAT/CT scan might show up something. It was met with more medical, meaningless bull5&i$.
i had ct scan and it shown i have fused vertibre but they still dont do anything tell me to do physio but that makes it worse
Yup, seems to be more and more of this with Doctors. They've recently nearly killed my siister, but that's another story.
It's very frustrating though. I am still working full-time and it's not as if I want to be retired through ill health.
yes i get that all the time have you had a scan taken i havnt had any joy medically exept pain killers and anti inflammatries but i find a hot water bottle really helps i sleep at a 45% propped up on pillows sorry cant help more x
Hi Lally,I had this for years after missing the sofa and going down hard on the arm of it.I used to sayIt was like coming up off a rusty nail when I stood up.you really should see if you can have investigation into this as turned out I had broken mine.But I do have chronic back issues.Its not so bad now but it did take years to settle down.wish you well hun and gentle hugs xxxxxxx
I have coxccydinia as I fell down stairs and broke it when I was 19 broke again when gave birth. You can have it manipulated and injected with steroid in hospital. This worked 1st time for me for 6 months had it done twice since and failed can only be done 3 times. Next step would be to have it removed but can lead to double incontinence so no way! I bought a chair called The Perfect chair which is a zero gravity recliner wonderful very expensive but got mine on EBay they come up from time to time. Hope this helps.
oh my god..... i thought i was the only one who suffered this.. thank god i found this website... i ....i can no longer sit up straight... i have to lounge.. even in a wheelchair i get pain there....xxx
I think mine was from giving birth to my eldest daughter, but Ive also had quite a few falls down stairs Ive mentioned to my last gp shes done nothing about it, Ive had mri and ct on outer back they show a fracture and a syrinx, going to see my new gp later, she my last hope
this is the first time i've heard of anyone else with this. My back isn't one of the places i generally have pain - but it is always when i get up from sitting not while i'm sitting. I have asked my GP about this and was met with a shrug of the shoulders. I am 99% sure that i have never damaged the coccyx
I get it too...i blogged about it the other day. It's awful, i cannot sit on my bum for long, it have to keep changing sitting postion. And when i get up, i'm crouched over and in agony. I too have never injured my coccyx. xxx
I suffer with this too....bloody god awful thing! you sit for too long and have to stand up thats when it really gives you a jolt! and you can't walk properly.... the pain radiates out to the hips which in turn, feel stiff. Bending over for a few minutes is bad too....feels as though everything is locking up in that region. xx
