Suggest Remedy For Painful Tailbone
I recently had excruciating pain in my tailbone to the point where I couldn t walk sit or jump. I went to the doctor and they said to get a catscan. I complyed and the results were excess gas in my tailbone. it still hurts and I was wondering how I can fix the pain.

I have studied your case and I am very surprised with this diagnosis. I do not think that excess gas can cause such severe pain. I would suggest you to follow these steps.
1. Always sit in a tub fill with hot water, half hour daily.
2. Tablet Brufen twice daily.
3. Always use a ring shape cushion for sitting, as it is not caused any pressure on tail bone, do not sit for long time or avoid any constipation.
4. Steroid injection can be given in tailbone, this provides good pain relief.
I hope if you will follow these steps than there will be good pain relief, if you want to any more information you can ask direct question from me.
thanks.

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have got coccyxdynia. Its treatment is hot sits bath, rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen .Avoid long standing,long sitting. Use soft objects to sit over, avoid hard seats to sit.
