Hi there.
You can get steroid injection or steroid and phenol injection around your tailbone area to permanently kill the pain. It is called GANGLION IMPAR NERVE BLOCK. Kindly consult your Orthopaedician or Pain management specialist in this regard. Perform sitz baths, apply warm soaks. Avoid constipation by eating fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and keeping well hydrated.
