back pain arising from chiropractic care

(2 discussions)

Hi. My daughter has had hip inflammation flare-ups for many years. To address this she recently went to a chiropractor and had 11 chiropractic treatments for what was diagnosed as sacroilliac (sp?)syndrome. She is refusing to continue any more treatments because she now has continuous pain and muscle spasms in the mid back due to adjustments. Is this normal in the course of treatment? She told the chiropractor but he didn’t respond. What should she do? I would appreciate any advice, thanks!

Tailbone

(3 discussions)

umm I think I may have fractured my tailbone but im not quite sure…a couple years ago a friend had kicked my tailbone (just messing around) and it hurt for a minute but then I didn’t really think about it and not too long after that I didn’t realize how bad it hurt! it took me at least 30 seconds to get up and sit down and I could sit still very long and it hurt extremely bad to walk and was like that for almost a month and today I fell off my horse and I had flipped over and landed on my tailbone first I think and now is starting to feel like that again! it hurts to walk or put pressure on my legs and hurts to sit and stand up but it doesn’t hurt as bad as the first time I hurt it! I think this time I may have only fractured it real bad but…is there anyway to KNOW if I HAVE fractured it or is there any way you could tell me if it may be doing something to my tailbone that maybe I need to go get it checked out and make sure it hasn’t messed anything up? that would be alot of help thank you so much!!!!!!! With Love, Christi

coccyx pain

(9 discussions)

I woke up on december 28,1995 with pain in my tailbone. I have been to all kinds of specialist and had so many test ran and they look at me as if I am crazy. The pain has gotten worse over the years. I have taken every over the counter pain reliever I can think of. Handfulls at a time. This has caused alot of problems with my stomach. I can not stand for any length of time, I can not lay flat on my back or sit up straight without hurting severly. It takes everything I have to make it through the days. In 1996 I was having some female problems and the doctor told me that the best thing for me to do was have a histerectomy because that would take care of my tail bone pain. He said I had endemetriosis growing on that bone and it was causing the pain. So at 22 years old I decided I would rather get rid of the pain and deal with not being able to have anymore children. Well needless to say, It is now 2014 and I am a 28 year old single female with severe tailbone pain, a stomach full of ulcers from taking medicine to be able to deal with my tailbone pain. I am tired of hurting. I am not sure where to go now. If anyone can give me any advice, because none of my doctors will talk to me. My tailbone is completely turned around and they seem to think this is ok. Can someone give me advice on what to do or how to get them to listen to me?
