I just had an mri but the doctor did not order photos of the tailbone, said it was unnecessary because nothing can be done about the tailbone!
I have had oa for 6 years, hips and spine, now for past 8 months the pain in my butt is agonizing, I sit on a special pillow and have even resorted to carrying it with me, I also must fly international quite often, this can be very painful, sitting so long.
I'm assuming (because I live in an area without good doctors and can go to us only once a year) that this is osteoarthritis progressed to tailbone.
Anyone else out there with any opionions? Doctor gave me drugs for pain, I have been taking 400mg of celebrex daily for years. I don't want to start on those heavy pain pills just yet, i'm 65 and have lots of work to do yet.
Thanks for any discussion!
