What Is The Cause Of Pain In Hip Bone?

I landed on my tailbone hard about 25 years ago and now when I sit on the stool or lay in bed my butt bone or pelvis bones hurt bad. also when laying in bed my shoulders or my elbows ache bad and my hands might go numb and tingly. I get Charlie horses very often while laying in bed also. I had a colon scope 5 years ago and they found 66 polyps precancerous. I was wondering what I have . if it links back to tailbone. if I sit long in chair or car my butt really hurts and I cant sit still. any ideas. thanks keith heisterkamp. I need to wait till I get my debit card back.can I save everything I asked and get back to you?

Hi
Thanks for writing your query
Based on your description this injury is called coccygodynia. My advice for you would be-
1. Sitz’s bath- sit in the tub filled with lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes two times daily.
2. Avoid sitting on hard surface and try to sit on one buttock. Avoid jerky rides and take rest.
3. Medication wise you may take Ibuprofen for few days.
It usually takes 2-3 week time to heal. If the problem persists see your local doctor.
Polyps may not be related to tail bone pain. The symptoms in your hand are suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome that is nerve
(Median) compression at wrist. This may be confirmed by EMG/NCV test.
Yes you may save the whole discussion we had.
Take care and wish you good health.
