A member asked:
My coccyx is abnormally protruded that i cannot do crunches without it grinding on the floor. do i need to wear a body brace to realign my spine?

Unlikely: I doubt there is anything abnormal about your coccyx. The easiest way to determine the cause of the problems is to see a doctor, have the area examined and x rays done.
