Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have always had an unusually large tailbone but recently,a patch of hard skin has developed which is pressing on the bone when I sit.It is similar to a callus.Could it be caused by pressure of the bone on the skin which is possibly thinning with age? I am a 75yr old female .
It is very difficult to associate the callus to the large tail bone. this would have manifested itself earlier enough. However, if the tail bone compels a particular sitting position, this could be a probable explanation. If not, something else should be considered. kind regards
