Question : I WAS A BREECH BIRTH (AGE 51) AND HAVE EPISODES OF SEVERE PAIN, CREPITIS TO SACRAL/COCCYX AREA THAT WORSENS WITH CONSTIPATION. THE EPISODES ARE SPORATIC AND PAIN ENDS ABRUPTLY. I HAVE ABOUT 4-8 EPISODES A YEAR. THE PAIN IS WORSE SITTING AND NO MEDICATION HELPS OTC OR PRESCRIPTION. A CHIROPRACTER TOLD ME WHEN I WAS 26 THAT A HAD A CONGENITAL DEFECT FROM A BREECH BIRTH. ANY IDEAS FOR A CURE?
Brief Answer:
Pain is neuralgia
Detailed Answer:
hi,
i can understand your concerns. pain can be due to neuralgia. it has nothing to do with your breech delivery. get a physiotherapist and orthopaedician to see you, not chiropracter. Orthopedician will guide you towards right treatment.
