Tailbone pain because of anemia..on prescription iron 325mg tid for 6 months pain goes away..a few months off iron pills pain returns..why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably unrelated: The intake of iron pills and tailbone pain may be unrelated. If you are a female and still menstruating, keep taking iron pills. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
