Specializes in Pain Management

Coccygodynia: Ouch! these can be quite painful. Minimizing pressure on the tailbone by using a doughnut cushion and nsaids may help. Depending on severity of the "crack", an orthopedic consultation may be needed. Sometime the pain can become chronic and inteventional management technique or surgery may be needed.
