Suggest Treatment For Bump On Tailbone And Lower Back Pain
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are not associated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. The symptoms are not associated with each other.
The swelling at the end of tail bone needs to be examined. Further, ultrasound and MRI examination of the affected area would give us more information about the bump/lump. Lower back pain is linked to this.
Other symptoms such as swallowing problem and dropping things need to be also evaluated. A detailed neurological examination would help. These are not associated with lower back swelling.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist

I had a normal CBC. Is the rhyroid checled on a CBC? Also, if i have a disc problem with my L4 and L5 could that be related to the sore bump on tailbone?
Brief Answer:
Thyroid is not checked in CBC.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
Thyroid blood test is separately done and is not included in CBC.
Disc problem at L4-5 would not lead to a bump at tailbone.
