What Is The Treatment For Severe Tailbone Pain?
Looking for a pain specialist in the 08550 area. Already see Dr. Grant Cooper for injections. Love him but, pain keeps coming back. Currently having severe tailbone pain. Have had shots twice now and pain still pretty bad. Wonder what next steps should be. Have had L5 disc removal in 1997 so know some back pain will always be there but this is lower. Pretty uncomfortable to sit, drive for more than 2-3 min. Currently use C pillow. Doesn t really help. Suggestions? Tx

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you
as you had surgery in the past I feel this is purely a muscle weakness and by strengthening such gluteus muscle groups will help to remove the pain and improve your functionality.
in my clinical practice most patients post lumbar spine surgery have similar issues and with physical therapy guided exercises they respond well.
