Suggest Treatment For Uncomfortable Tailbone
My tailbone is starting to protrude with a knot on the end and it s very uncomfortable to lay on a flat surface. I m 5 6 at 108lbs now because I ve lost weight ...I am normally around 116lbs. My husband is concerned that I need to see a physician but I don t think it s necessary. Please advise ... Thank you!

Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cyst in this region.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a physical exam and an X ray of the sacral bone.
A CT scan may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
