My tailbone has been deformed 6 years ago and i have problems. it's getting bigger everyday, i want to remove for cosmetic, and comfort reasons. tips ?

If getting biggeryes: Would not remove it for cosmetic reasons secondary to a high risk of chronic pain. However if getting larger would verify with MRI but if really getting larger than would remove.
