Accepted Answer

This : This sounds like a pilonidal cyst that may have abscessed and spontaneously draining. Typically, for recurrent or complicated cysts like this, surgical management needs to be considered. Discuss this further with your dermatologist.

Question 2

my tail bone is twister toward the right and my right hip is cracked. i'm felling week and have no energy. what would be a usual treatment or procedur?

Accepted Answer

Hip pain: Sounds like you definitely need to see your doctor as soon as possible to evaluate the hip and tailbone. Likely will need an x-ray as well.

Question 3

what could the knot on my tail bone be?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: cyst? tumor? fracture? This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 4

could falling on your tail bone give you a concussion?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps...: Oh, please, I am barely holding on to a really sarcastic response... No.  I wont say it....Must not mention if head is up the..
Just kidding.  If there was 'axial loading' of the skull on the spine down to the tail bone, i suppose it could.  After all, a concussion occurs when the brain is sloshed (my word) around and hits the skull, causing a 'brain bruise'.

Question 5

please tell me, could a broken tail bone puncture your skin?

Accepted Answer

Possible.: If the force of injury is hard enough any bone can puncture the skin.

Question 6

please tell me, could falling on your tail bone give you a concussion?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unlikely that this kind of injury would lead to a concussion, though if you fell at a high velocity, it could be possible, but likely not.

Question 7

when i sat down today i was surprised to find that my tail bone is quite tender. i haven't fallen. what could it be and what can i do to stop pain?

Accepted Answer

Coccydynia: Some folks just get this "coccydynia". Whether it "just happens" or is from "sitting improperly" (whatever that may be), you have a couple of options. Most famous is a cushion with a hole for you to put over your tailbone. A stool softener may help if bowel movements are especially painful. If you're not in pain all the time from it, just watch it; let your physician check on your next visit.

Question 8

my tail bone has been hurting for a few days. whenever i sit down or lay it hurts. what could be wrong there?

Accepted Answer

Bruise or fracture ?: It is possible that you injured it in some way. See your doctor for an examination. He may wish to order an x ray if that is what is going on. In the interim suggest you get a donut to sit on.-an inflatable ring that will allow you to sit without putting pressure on your tailbone.

Question 9

i hiked today with a 2000 feet gain 8 miles. i didn't fall at all however i have a growing tail bone pain. what could be casing this?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Muscle, inflammation, other...Give it a day or two with active recovery, anti inflammatory medication, ice and if no better see your pcp..

Question 10

i fell on my tail bone about 10yrs ago and since then it has felt like a raisin sized lump has been floating at the tip, could it be a bone fragment?

Accepted Answer

Tail bone bone chip: Yes, this could be a bone fragment from your coccyx (tailbone). This can be confirmed with a x-ray.
