I have this extreme pain in my Tailbone (Coccyx)?

Question

I have had this pain before couple of years ago. Now it's coming back.

Whenever I sit down I have to lean to the side a bit to avoid the pain.

I do about 400 sit ups a day with a lot of cushing supporting my tailbone...but its not helping.

How do I prevent this? and What kind of medication should I take?

Thanks

Answer 1

A chiropractor would be your best bet.

Answer 2

Did you ever have an X-ray taken?  You might have had a fracture that didn't quite line up when it healed.  You now may be experiencing some arthritic pain - ooooooh.  It still wouldn't be too late to get that X-ray.  In the meantime, take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil (Ibuprofen) in the recommended dosage.
