A member asked:
Have focal edema on coccyx (mri result). pain for now 7 months. getting worth. tried ultra sound, laser for swelling, cushion, advil (ibuprofen). what's next?

Cushion: Usually using a cushion with a cut out (donut cushion) for 100% if sitting will allow this to resolve. Only rarely is surgical excision needed as a last resort.
