On my tailbone, like in between my crack, there is a really sharp pain. any help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed tailbone: You are describing inflammation of your tailbone. Consider buying a donut pillow from a medical supply store. This will help unload your tailbone for the next several weeks when you sit. Anti-inflammatory medication with food might help as well. It could take 4-6 weeks to subside.
