Suggest Treatment For Pain And Burning Sensation In Tailbone

I saw a doctor about 2 years ago about a burning sensation at my tail bone when I got in the tub for a bath. I saw a doctor right away. I was told I had developed a fungus at the tailbone area, and that a break in the skin in that area had devloped. I was prescribed naftin cream to kill the fungus. Well, the longer I used that cream a pain developed in that area. I noticed the more I used the Naftin cream the worse the pain got. It really made my tail bone sore. It has been very painfull. it stopped being painfull for about 1 month only and set in again. I have seen several specialist. Back specialists and bone specialist. I had a MRI with contast. It showed nothing was wrong. No polidonial cyst or anything. I have had one steroid shot it helped a little. But now I am at a end. what to do now?

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
First I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering but you have to be calm as your symptoms don't lead to any risky disease
In my opinion it may be caused by isciadicus nerve root inflammation
It can be cured with gabapentin or pregabalin slowly increasing dose
You may confirm my doubt by scheduling a ENG wich will determine the nerve suffering and probably it cause
Discuss with your doctor about my opinion
Hope I have been of help
Wish you good health and fast recovery
Feel free to ask for further questions or doubts
Best regards
