How Can Severe Pain In The Tail Bone Be Treated?
My daughter, aged 40, has been told the bottom disc of her spine has crumbled and that the only thing that would make it better is a major operation which she was advised against as she is too young for it. She is in constant terrible pain and this in turn is making her very depressed. I have read that laser treatment could possible do some good to alleviate the pain. Is this correct?

Hi,
I do understand your concern. I would recommend the operation. Meanwhile she should adapt the sitting and walking position using a belt you can find different types in drugstore. I would suggest she takes 1 paracetamol 500 mg every 4 hours and 1 ibuprofen 500 mg every 6 hours after meal. Use as much as you can Camomile tea or other herbals. Some swimming in hot pools would do well also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best Regards,
Eni
