Accepted Answer

Probably yes: People have different variations in their anatomy. Some people have flat or tilted in or tilted outward as u do. It would only b abnormal if injured ; now is in a different position, especially if symptomatic.

Question 2

tailbone sticks out is there any surgery i can do?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedic surgery: You probably broke your tail bone in the past, maybe more than once. Ask for a referral to orthopedic surgery and possible removal.

Question 3

hey, my tailbone sticks out and it's shifting to the right, usually when i sit it hurts a lot?

Accepted Answer

Tailbone pain: Pain and misaligned bone needs the help of your doctor for a fix.  Please see your doc who will diagnose and treat this properly.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

i'm 17, some years ago (like 4 maybe) i noticed that my tailbone sticks out, but just now i have realized that is not normal. is there any exercises i can do? and can it be cured with therapy?

Accepted Answer

: Let it be. There is no exercise that can affect the tailbone. Whatever is sticking out is likely to be cover up by buttock fat. If you must, you may consider surgery, but I would not recommend it.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 5

i am 5'7 i weighed 130 and now i weigh 115 i noticed after weight loss that my tailbone sticks out and boney..is that from the weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You have lost the extra padding over your tailbone and you now notice it more.

Question 6

is it normal that my tailbone is sticking out ? i have lost a lot of weight & i am not in pain. the tailbone sticks out through my clothing?

Accepted Answer

: Weight loss causes tailbone to protrude, which is normal. If no pain or swelling then leave alone. Doing stretches at home or having physical therapy can reduce the sticking out.

Question 7

my tailbone sticks out a lot at the top. you can almost see it through my clothes. don't think it's a cyst because it's hard like bone. why?

Accepted Answer

Some do stick up: Most look like the picture. Ur's is an uppy. This seems like a cosmetic problem, not 1 of pain. If u c someone I am sure u r having pain,  & if so, insurance will cover symptomatic coccyx excision which in good hands is very easy & successful. I have excised about 20-25. No complications & all were happy and no one returned with any complaints. Seek an experienced surgeon who has done it b4.

Question 8

i have an abnormal long tailbone that sticks out and i was wondering if there is a workout or exercise to help it not stick out so far?

Accepted Answer

No: I suggest an orthopedic evaluation, since you were probably born this way.

Question 9

my tailbone hurts and sticks out?

Accepted Answer

I will try to help: Let us assume the problem in the tail bone it self (no hemorrhoid, fissures, cysts) around the rectum.
1-keep your bowel soft.
2-sitez bath once a day if you could.
3-air daunt to set on.
4-some medication for inflammation(advil (ibuprofen) or other).
If did not help
try injection of steroid there by orthopedic surgeon. This could be doing again if it help.
5-last surgery to remove the part which bothering yo.

Question 10

can the tailbone heal itself?

Accepted Answer

Yes: For fxs or coccygodynia will usually get better with time.
