How Can Pain In The Tailbone Be Treated?
I have fallen twice onto my tail bone in the last year, no immediate pain, now I am having great pain in the tail bone area when I sit and lay down. What specific type of Dr should I see? My PCP doesn t seem to be concerned thinks I have Arthritis there now.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that you have a chronic inflammation at tail bone.
I would suggest you to get an x ray done to rule out a fracture.
Sitz bath will help.
You may need local steroid injection shot.
Consult an Orthopaedician.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mahaveer Patil
