Suggest Treatment For Tailbone Pain
my tailbone pain is ruining my life. I compensate on my cheeks to keep from sitting on it directly, which causes a direct line of pain up my right side of my back. I am miserable. My chiropractor helped some, but it just keeps coming back. Any suggestions are most welcome. I am 46, female and had no injury. Thank you!

This condition is called coccydynia. In this there is pain in tail bone. I have following advice for you.
1. Avoid sitting on hard surface
2. Use ring shape cushion for sitting
3. Sit is a tub filled with gentle warm water for hot fomentation
4. take a steroid injection if pain is very much
