Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

For resistant coccydynia sacral local block injection may be helpful.
Prolotherapy [local injection] may also work for sacral pain.

Consult your doctor for injection.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Continue sitz bath and use of ring cushion.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
