Suggest Treatment For Swelling At The Tailbone Area
I have developed a swelling (lump) at the tailbone area.It pains when I m travelling and makes its presence felt also when I m walking. While sitting, I have to lunge forward to not put pressure on the affected area. I was told that its cellulitis (abscess formation) and have been advised to do a BSL (Random) and CBC. Will my situation need a surgery?

Suggest Treatment For Swelling At The Tailbone Area
Hello, It could be a coccalgia. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
