How To Treat A Mass In The Sacrum?
Hi I just had a pelvic and hip x-ray done due to a fall. The radiologist read it and said there were no fractures but he sees something at the bottom of the sacrum i.e., mass ? and wants me to have a MRI. I do have a hx of IBS and a fx coccyx b one which occurred after or during labor. Are there other things it could be besides a tumor?

Hi
an X-ray gives you a limited understanding of certain things one sees and an MRI is likely to give more information about the mass. it probably is a tumour but the difficulty is to determine what kind of a tumour it is? MRI scan will provide more information about the nature of the tumour.
