What Can I Take For Tailbone Pain Except Anti-inflammatory Medicines?
I have tailbone pain. I can not take an anti-inflammatory because I take Warfarin to prevent bloodclots. I have Lupus, fibromyalgia, arthritis,osteoporosis. I take Dilaudid and tylenol for the tailbone but it only helps a bit. I also take prednisone but my Dr. is trying to get me off of it. Is there anything else I can do? I am in excruciating pain.

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
I understood your problem and your inability to take pain killers .
At this juncture the best way for you is to take Sitz bath 2-3 times daily or even more tomes
Local application of an analgesic cream.
You may some times apply local an aesthetic cream like xylocaine.
Hope this reply serves your purpose.
Further queries invited.
