is it normal to have anal bone pain with above described conditions as pain is not felt all the times but only when I am bending or having desire to go for stool. Do u think I need to go through some test before really concluding that it is bone related problem. In fact I would like to rule out any other possibilities.
Pl also help me with sleep related problem as mentioned earlier. I have noted treatment for rest less legs. No immediate solution for ED?

Hi,
Welcome back.
After going through your query and follow up query I want to say that in coccyxdynia bone pain is felt in tailbone more during sitting specially on hard surfaces.To rule out non bone related cause you have to visit general surgeon and get examined specially per rectal examination.
Your sleep related problem can be due to restless leg ,treatment of which has already been discussed or anxiety , for which you can take anxiolytic such as alprazolam.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
For ED you have to consult sexologist as problem is mostly psychological.
