I have been diagnosed with swelling around my coccyx, the specialist I saw said he dosnt know whats caused it and passed me on to a spine specialist, he said exactly the same and is now passing me onto sumone else, I feel like I am just going to be passed around and then given pain killers although I do take a pain killer everyday for fibromyalgia , any ideas please? It is very very painful.

Hello and welcome to HCM
Is the swelling around the coccyx painful, is the swelling mobile or fixed to underlying structures?
Do you any associated tingling or altered sensation in your lower limb?
Since, you are suffering from fibromyalgia it could be due to fibromyalgia.
You need to get a MRI done to know the origin of the swelling.
It could be a bony swelling or soft tissue swelling.
Thanks and take care
