A member asked:

My tailbone and lower back hurt bad.what could this be? it is on and around my spine and by my butt and is making my hips and legs hurt.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Will likely improve: How long ago did it start? Any trauma? Most lower back/buttocks and sacral pain can be improved with anti inflammatory medications and directed physical therapy. I would recommend taking Motrin or naprosyn (naproxen) if you don't have heart burn or stomach issues. If pain does not improve and it's been around for about a month along with numbness ; tingling or weakness in legs then i would see spine doc.
