A member asked:
Tailbone lower back pain in immense tightness and pain for over 6 months. during the 1st month of pain, x-ray showed normal. it is affecting my life all the way. i am scared of gangrene inside the deep muscle tissue of lower back. can i do ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds consistent with coccidynia and the tailbone could be injected, if not done previously. See a physiatrist, use a donut cushion to sit, get re-imaging. Possibly, a virtual consult at HT may help (www.connect@healthtap.com).
