Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Tailbone Pain
I fell approx. 9 years ago on my coccyx. I now have pain from coccyx area that radiates to both hips when I walk. It happens if I am up on my feet all day, but stops when I sit down. I have spoken to my doctor, but he thinks it may be weak stomach muscles. What is your opinion? Thank you. I am 62 years old.

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve in this region (also called neuralgia), or a bulging disc in the vertebral column, probably due to the trauma.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a CT scan of the lumbo-sacral spine, coupled with a nerve conduction study.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
