A member asked:

I have sore and pain sometimes in my tailbone specially when i am sitting my x-ray is normal what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below:: The possibility of this being a fracture of the tailbone (coccyx) is high, if there is a history of sustaining a fall onto your butt, unless there is a weakness in the bone from beforehand. Using a ring cushion to sit on is helpful with nsaids for pain. It can take 3-4 months for it heal, sometimes longer. Rarely surgery is needed. Dx with a bone scan, ct scan or MRI as per your orthopod. See him.
