Hello.
for the past 2 months maybe, I started
noticing pain in my Coccyx area, usualy if
I had been sitting for too long.
but it got worse and worse..
eventually I saw a dr who told me it was
Coccydinia and that its a really hard
thing to get rid off.
From there I went and got a 2nd opinion, I
ended up having an xray and was told I
needed a Nuclear bone scan wich showed
nothign wrong, but apparently my bone is
curved more then usual.
we dont know how I ended up with
Coccydinia.. I cant think of anything.
But I was just wondering if anyone else
here suffers from it?
and do you find when it flares up it makes
everything painful down there? including
your rectum?
sometimes I feel as if I have something
wedged up my bum, its so horrible!

What a nasty problem! It is so so
painful. I know that some treatments are
helpful, such as ice, sitting on a
doughnut, anti-inflammatories, and pain
medication. Physical therapists can do a
little ultrasound and iontophoresis down
there (don't worry that doesn't hurt, its
just embarrasing). You are correct that
it is very uncomfortable, and it does take
quite a while to get over it. Sometimes
we never really figure out what causes it.
It could be a new desk chair, a long car
trip, riding a bicycle, tripping over a
curb if your anatomy is just right for
predisposing you to this. You can try
sitting on an exercise ball and then
switch to your chair every hour or so at
work to see if this helps.
