How Is Pain In The Tail Bone Treated?

Hi, I am a 37 Year old female that has been suffering from tailbone pain for almost 2 years. I get Charlie horse pains in each butt cheeks and 2 months ago the pain in my tail bone got worse that I went to the ER. They did an Xray where they told me I had subluxation. I have had the injections and they did not help. It is getting worse everyday. Lastnight my whole left leg was so swollen all the way down to my ankle and I had sever pain in my left butt cheek. Please help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

For resistant coccydynia sacral local block injection may be helpful.
Prolotherapy [local injection] may also work for sacral pain.

Consult your doctor for injection.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Continue sitz bath and use of ring cushion.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
