Re: Coccyx area (Tailbone)

(2 discussions)

check out this site www.coccyx.org it may help read everything you can on the net and try to figure out what is wrong with you. Then try to find the the right doctor. Sounds to me like it’s the muscles or ligament not the bone or it would have shown up on the x-rays and scans. Experiment with stuff. I recently bought true back it stretches the spine out. This may help you it has helped me some trueback.com. Pilates really strengthens the back. Try something, don’t over do it. If it causes more pain stop if it helps keep doing it. You know your condition better than the doctors. Don’t settle for theirs nothing we can do from your doctors. Good luck. Manual treatments for coccyx painSee also personal experiences of manual treatmentsFirst a word of warning: my coccyx pain was made worse by a physiotherapist who pressed hard on the coccyx from the outside, and I have heard of other cases where a doctor or another specialist made someone’s pain a lot worse by doing this. So if you do decide to go for manual treatment, make sure it is gentle and is carried out by someone who knows what they are doing.There are various types of manual treatment given, but very little has been published on how they are carried out or how successful they are. However, Dr Jean-Yves Maigne of the Hotel-Dieu hospital in Paris has carried out a study, and published the results in the journal Spine. In summary, this study compared three different treatments of coccydynia in which the doctor places a finger into the anus of the patient. One of the treatments was to move the coccyx about in various ways. The other two were (1) to massage or (2) to stretch muscles attached to the coccyx, without moving the coccyx. These last two treatments were more successful than moving the coccyx. The treatments worked best on patients who showed up as normal on the sit/stand dynamic [email protected]

    I have survere pain in this area. After the MRI, CAT SCAN, Dr. says the taibone is tilted in an upward position which is causing the pain. I am on Percocet for the pain, but it doesn’t seem to help that much. Is there a pill that would ease the pain, and if so, what is it? What other suggesstions do you have?
