What Causes A Painful Lump In The Tailbone And Stomach Ache?

I ve had two lumps at the base of my spine for several years. They hurt when touched, but otherwise havent been a problem. Until 4 days ago when I had a bout of stomach cramping (which I attributed to a large consumption of broccoli) accompanied by extreme tailbone pain when sitting. Everything seemed as the expected with the intestinal distress.... however there was no nausea, and the cramping came in waves for around 6 hours. The scariest part though, was that after the initial feces, the rest of the time I only passed bloody gelatinous globs (often orange/red). Please note that I hadn t eaten anything red/orange. I stayed on a bland diet for 2 days and things have cleared perfectly, except for the pain in my tailbone.... and now I ve noticed that the 2 lumps are gone. I am very concerned. do I need to see a doctor?

Hi,DEar,thanks for your query to HCM.I studied your query in depth.1-In My opinion the the painful lump in the tailbone-are the chronic lumps which are without any problem except being sore when touched -indicates -chronic boils/peri-anal post abscesses with post-fistula in ano -on either side of the tail bone/ or the pilonidal cysts with infection.2-The brocolli induced colitis with nausea and stool with mucous, is the normal occurence with many due to the hard digesting fiber vegies.3-The increase in the tailbone pain-is the result of the gaseous distension of the rectal area ,pressing the pilonidal cyst or the chronic boils, and is the result of the brocolli induced colitis and dysentry with red-mucous-indicating fresh ulcers.4-The reduction of the 2 lumps in last 2 days -indicates -peri-anal post.abscess with fistulous inner connection-through which these 2 lumps got reduced -post dysentry effect.4-a-I would advise you to consult a Surgeon ,who would treat to its best as need be.5-Hope this would solve your query.6-Wellcome for any more questions on new or this subject also...Have A Good Day..!!
