A member asked:

Need coccyx pain relief. have an occult spina bifida down low and fell?

Maybe nothing: The term occulta means that the finding was an incidental discovery during x-ray of your spine. It can be a normal variant with no clinical significance. Or - it could be associated with bladder problems, constipation, and tendency for pain in buttocks area. It can be associated with tethered cord.

May be a break: Fractures of the coccyx can be painful particularly with sitting. May have nothing to do w the occulta. Get an x ray to be sure but if a fx can sit on a donut shaped pillow for relief.
