How To Treat Chronic Tailbone/coccyx Pain?

Hi - I have had chronic tailbone/coccyx pain for the last 2 years. I have had xray's (showing nothing) and there was no trauma that bought this on and the pain clinic can't help me any further - I've tried pain killers and cortisone injections. I've basically given up trying to find a solution and now just try and deal with it in the hope it will heal itself. But for the last 3-4 months I have been getting this clicking in my lower spine - its like a ratcheting down of my spine. Its not painful but quite noticible. Is it something I should be worried about or is it my lower back starting to relax and heal?? Thanks!

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think You are suffering from COCCYXDYNIA. It not responded to pain killers and cotisone injections . You should try hot sits bath ,Avoid long continuous sitting.Always sit on soft cushions. Avoid sitting on hard objects. Exercises ,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR) can be of help. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(Bon DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To futher investigate MRI of the region is advised . I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
