Specializes in Pain Management

Tailbone pain: By this i assume you are talking about the coccyx. This pain can be bothersome. This may be due to a truamtic event like landing hard on your butt. In these instances if a fracture is ruled out it may simply be a excessively mobile coccyx. There are many treatments from pt, topicals medicants, injections etc... It certainly warrants an evaluation.
