Specializes in General Practice

Pilonidal Cysts?: The only thing i can think of is that perhaps you have an ingrown hear at the site of pain causing a skin infection known as a pilonidal cyst. If this is the case then the antibiotics you were on may be ineffective to combat the infection causing the tailbone pain.
