A member asked:
My tailbone sticks out a lot at the top. you can almost see it through my clothes. don't think it's a cyst because it's hard like bone. why?

Some do stick up: Most look like the picture. Ur's is an uppy. This seems like a cosmetic problem, not 1 of pain. If u c someone I am sure u r having pain, & if so, insurance will cover symptomatic coccyx excision which in good hands is very easy & successful. I have excised about 20-25. No complications & all were happy and no one returned with any complaints. Seek an experienced surgeon who has done it b4.
