A member asked:

Can you advise for tailbone sticking out?

Dr. Ki-Hon Lin answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Probably normal: Most likely it's just the way you're built, esp if you are very thin. An x-ray could be done to confirm that your underlying anatomy is normal. If you're not having any symptoms it's probably nothing to worry about.
