A member asked:
My tailbone feels like its protruding,hurts when i walk and sit,stings like there's a cut on it.can it be from sitting and laying down too much?

Coccydynia: If it is truly the tail bone that is hurting, it may be Coccydynia, the treatment for which is mainly just symptom management (ie sitting on soft cushions, and hopefully the symptoms will subside). You may even try some over the counter Anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen as needed.

Hy 2 days ago i fell in and now my tailbone hurts. There is no bruising at all but it hurts every time i walk sit or just lay in bed. Is this normal?
I injured my coccyx 2 years ago (couldnt walk/sit/lay properly for a yr). I injured my coccyx again a few months ago. Shortly after, I noticed my pelvic floor became weak. Could the injury have caused my inability to contract muscles down there?
Had a fall onto my coccyx from a 90 degree seated position (like a 90o walk sit without the wall) on concrete in late April and I still have a lot of pain around the my base of my spine, it's a struggle just sitting down without a lot of pain.
I have a lump on my ankle, it bothers me a lot, hurts when I walk or sit and stings if I touch it. There has been no injury either. ?
