Suggest Treatment For Severe Coccyx Pain

I have been suffering tremendously with terrible coccyx pain throughout the buttocks and down through the vaginal area. In the vaginal area I have very serious burning along with pain so much to the extent that I can barely sit down at all. The coccyx bone is inflamed and when I lay down on my left and right sides. my legs start to burn and tingle along with pain. I have had every injection you can possibly imagine throughout the years and I just don t know where to turn anymore. Doctors upon doctors have treated me and there just isn t any relief at all. I just had and imparganglian block done last Friday and it felt good for about 10 minutes and came back just as it was. Can you possibly give me some insight on this. Thank You, Barbara Neff

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi Barbara
it sounds like this has been going on for a long time
has anybody actually taken an xray or CT scan of your coccyx to see if that is your problem? a coccyx problem can be either be an old fracture(break) that has failed to heal or a chronic infection and this can be solved with a surgical excision of that part of the coccyx that causing trouble. I suggest you see an orthopaedic surgeon for an assessment.
