Pain In Tail Bone, Heart Murmur At Same Time Of Bone Pain. Are These Connected?
Over the last month I have noticed two symptoms and am not sure if they are related. I have pain in my tailbone but havent recently fallen and what feels like a heart murmur that has lasted about the same time as the tailbone pain. Could they be connected, any suggestions?
Dr Grief, (dont like the sound of that) Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
There is absolutely no relation between the tail bone pain and heart murmer as both of them are due to different pathologies.
The treatment of tail bone pain (coccydynia) is as follows -
* Lean forward while sitting down
* Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion
* Apply heat or ice to the affected area
*Physical therapy involving strengthening of pelvic area muscles , stimulation with ultrasound therapy
* Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil)
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
