What Could Cause Tail Bone Pain?

Hi, for 10months now I ve had bad tailbone pain whenever I was sitting or worse from sitting to standing. After a month I went to dr and had ct scan done which showed bony erosion 4th & 5th sacral segements with anterior cortex soft tissue thickening my doctor followed up with a bone scan but that was fine so nothing else was done, it has now been 8-9months now and the pain is extreme. My feet often go dumb when I am able to sit, and my bowel movements are thinning. Pain is now radiating both up and down and feels like my whole pelvis is aching. I am a 30 year old dance teacher. No falls. 1 child. 1 operation of full hysterectomy with ovary removal during labour complications plus blood transfusions. Currently take 1mg oestridiol ( HRT) daily. I have a mri booked for next week, I am in a lot of pain though and considering going to hospital, should I be concerned or not?

dear user, dont worry of it it is nothing but lumbar spondylosis. you just take inferential and ultrasonic therapy for 20 - 25 days. with some regular back muscle strengthening excercises you will improve.
but you need to correct your sitting posture, as it may be the cause of pain in back. sit straight always dont bend forward while sitting, avoid lifting heavy objects for few days. wear LS belt.
within a month your pain will reduce.
