A member asked:

I am having immense severe pain in my tailbone like nothing i've ever experienced that started today after i started my period?

See a Provider: There are many problems that this could indicate including a ruptured cyst, a miscarriage, a benign fibroid tumor or endometriosis. If this pain persists please see a Provider, have an ultrasound and check it out!
