Can DDD With Hemangioma Cause Coccyx Area Pain?

I am a 43 yr old woman and have been suffering from pain in my coccyx area for over six months; the pain has gotten really bad during the past 4 months; went to my intern doc and he ordered xray of coccyx which came back negative; he then gave me pain and anti-inflammatory med which did not help; i went back to him and he ordered an MRI which came back with the results of having an hemangioma in L5 and a disc bulge in L4 due to DDD. Can this be the cause of my pain? I'm really frustrated and sad because my doc does not seem to be too empathic with me regarding my pain; he gave me a referral to go get an epidural block and said that it's something I should not be really worried about; For the time being I refused to go get the epidural block; I am going to see a neurologist tomorrow. What would you suggest?? please help, this is really depressing me and I am already a major depression disorder patient... I am a single mom of two and feel helpless right now... I am so angry at my doc. for giving me the impression that I should take this lightly :(
