Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
the very bottom part of my tailbone has been hurting for about two months. its often hard for me to sit. and Im getting a stabbing pain in my pelvic area and what feels like up in my vagina. also there is pressure which im not sure if i have to urinate or have a bowel movement. but usually dont. what could this be?
Hello and welcome to HCM, Pain in the pelvic region and difficulty while sitting requires a X-ray of the pelvic region. The pain can be due to trauma to the region or due to some kind of inflammation in the joints of the tail bone. Trauma could have led to hair line fracture of the tail bone. Hair line fractures are slightly painful and cause little restriction to movements. Inflammation of joints can also lead to pain. Feeling of pressure suggests some kind of nerve related disorder. A consultation with an orthopedician will be helpful in determining the cause pain, difficulty while sitting and pressure symptoms and thus management.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
