Suggest Treatment For Broken Tailbone Causing Severe Pain

Hello, my brother-in-law is suffering with a broken tailbone for over a year and the pain is terrible. He does not want to go on any pain medications and would like to have surgical intervention to repair it. The problem is he has been referred to a couple of specialist who don t have the time to see him. He lives in Barrie, Ontario. He has asked my help in finding him a specialist who can give him hope and a cure. Thank you for any input you may have in how we can get him to be seen by a highly qualified specialist. If you know of one who is taking on new patients this information would be of great help. Thank you, Diane Derlis

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

If he can walk normally, surgical procedure may not be required. He can opt for steroid injection for long term pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
