What Causes Lower Tail Bone Pain Especially While Stretching?

I have pain on my"sit bone",right side. Ischial tiuberosity. I think it feels like a torn tendon, muscle, or ligament...like a bone bruise. No swelling, nothing to see, no fever. Just sore. Movements(esp stretching) are limited.
What treatment, how diagnosis, see a Dr.? I am taking ibuprofen and sitting on ice, and limiting painful movements! Need physical therapy? Thanks

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain in tailbone can occur due to causes like traumatic injury to the area of tailbone like a sudden blow or fall, long hours of sitting, vaginal childbirth etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and he can advise you
x ray, MRI Scan of the area, to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to continue taking anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, take muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxasasone, warm compresses..
You can also be advised physiotherapy under a trained Physiotherapist..
You should also loose weight if obese..
You can also be advised to sit of a soft cushioned surface and avoid very long sitting hours..
You can also be advised steroid injection..
Tying a back support belt or brace can also help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
