Could Crunching Feeling In Tailbone Withno Problem Detected In Radiographs Be Displaced Ligament?
I fell on the ice 3 weeks ago, I thought I fractured my tailbone; but I had radiographs taken and the Dr. Said it isn t broken. I frequently feel a crunch; I m beginning to wonder if it could be a displaced ligament. When he palpated the area before taking the radiographs he said it seemed to be more in the sacral region, but the radiographs didn t show any problems with my sacrum either. What do you think the displacing feeling could be? I say crunch just because I don t know how to explain it.

Hi I have read the description . You frequently feel a crunch after falling on Ice and the x rays do not show any fractures.
In my opinion it is quite possible that you may have injured the soft tissues and that leads to swelling in the region. This swelling ( not ligament injury alone) may give rise to feeling of crunches.
I suggest you start doing spinal extension exercises on a regular basis and hopefully this alone may suffice.
