A member asked:
I have a painful coccyx. i have not had any accidents so do not know why it started. it is too painful to sit and even worse to stand. especially the moment i start to stand. would ibuprofen help with the pain/inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Ibuprofen should definitely be tried. Taking pressure off the area with a “doughnut” pillow for seated activities also helps.
